Violet had many adventures while she was here, including running her own business for a while. There was never a dull moment with her. Violet was always on the move! She had a talent of moving into a place and would make something out of nothing every time.

She was a hard worker and a very strong woman and had an even bigger heart. Violet was always watching out for her family and friends. She would make sure no one went without. She like to fish, and in her younger years, rode horses with family and friends.
