Violet had a remarkable memory for both historical and personal life events. People loved listening to her life experiences and adventurous spirit. She would regale listeners with stories of long-ago times and her once bustling beloved towns of Natrona and Tarentum.

She enjoyed all forms of dancing with her husband Sam, knitting, crocheting, preparing delicious dinners, solving Sudokus and doing Word Search books.

Violet was a highly skilled seamstress, designing gowns and other clothing with her own patterns. Violet was always there for her family and friends and would do whatever she could to help them.

Always most important to her were her Lutheran faith and Family.

Violet was an active member of the Daughters of Scotia where she held earlier offices.
