Violet graduated from Wallace High School, Class of 1957.  She worked for Anchor Hocking and Dominion Energy where she was known for her dedicated work ethic.  Violet loved working outdoors immaculately maintaining her yard and flower gardens.  She was an excellent cook, baker, and seamstress and enjoyed line dancing, Red Hat Club shenanigans, and watching WVU Mountaineer football and NASCAR racing.  Violet was a member of the Reynoldsville Baptist Church.

The family would like to extend a very special thank you to all of the staff of Harmony at White Oaks where Violet made her home during her final three years.  We will be forever grateful for the incredible love, care, and attention she received.  Everyone there treated her as a beloved member of their family.  Additionally, the family thanks WVU Medicine Hospice for Violet’s wonderful end of life care.
