Violet Wells Obituary

Violet Kathleen Wells, 91, of Elizabethtown, passed away Monday, Oct. 6, 2025.

Born on Aug. 3, 1934, in Summit, to the late Wesley Miller and Viola Nichols Miller.

A devoted and loving mother, Violet was a homemaker, where she raised her children. In her early years, Violet worked at the Ingram Plant. She was also a supportive partner in her family's farming endeavors.

Violet enjoyed canning, vegetable gardening on the farm and sewing. Her passion for these activities reflected her gentle and generous nature. Violet was also an avid church member at the Elizabethtown Church of Christ for many years, where she found community and spiritual fulfillment.

Violet was a Mary Kay director for 10 years, a role in which she excelled and found great joy.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Lawrence Wells; an aunt and uncle, Nellie and Wilby Johnson; and a brother, Norman Miller.

Survivors include her two children, Willie (Judy) Hart and Kay (Mike) Mack; four grandchildren, Christy (Jeff) McInturff, Kimberly (Travis) Clonch, Ryan (Alexis) Hart and Mandy (Bryan) Isham; six great-grandchildren; and a special friend, Austin Cook.

A graveside service is at 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at Elizabethtown Memorial Gardens.

Visitation is from 9 to 10:45 a.m. Friday at Brown Funeral Home in Elizabethtown.
