Violet Koenig Obituary
Our family is deeply saddened to share that Violet Margaret Koenig, age 90, passed away on August 19, 2025. She was born in Budapest, Hungary, immigrating to Columbus, Ohio in 1956. Violet led an accomplished career as a cosmetic buyer at Lazarus for over 30 years, and retired in their beautiful beach front condo in Clearwater, Florida. Violet lived a remarkable life of success, love, and world travel. She now joins her beloved husband, Joseph L. Koenig of 70 years marriage, in heaven. Violet is survived by her younger brother, Joseph J. Kovacs; her three loving nieces, Erika M. Panovsky, Suzenna E. McMillan, and Valleria V. Thomopalos. Her five grancchildren and great grandchildren alreay miss her. In honoring Violet's wishes, the family will not hold a public service or gathering. On a special note, Erika, Suzenna, and Valleria want to express their heartfelt gratitude to Violet and Joseph, whom they warmly refer to as mom and dad. They stepped into the role of parents, which enabled the girls to mature into confident, happy, and accomplished women. Violet's ongoing words of motherly advice are, "cherish your husband and family." And the girls most definitely do.
