Mom was taken from us at the age of 86 years. Violet joins her beloved husband Michael Hruska (May 03, 1970), parents James and Rosie Craig, and brother Edward Craig. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Judy McGowan (Jack), Louise Barr (Cliff), Victor Hruska (Dianne), Andy Hruska (Terry) and Shirley Wiebe (Eric); her grandchildren: Trevor Barr, Tracy Taylor (Chad), Michelle Zdrill (Kelly), Christene Hruska-King (Che), Kelly Hruska (Stephanie), Shelly and Jeffrey Hruska, and eleven great-grandchildren. She will be missed by her brother Jack Craig (Jessie) and sister Phyllis (Tony) Szwaluk, as well as by many nieces and nephews. She will also be remembered by the many people whose lives she touched. Violet was born in East Selkirk and grew up on a small farm, then moved to Winnipeg at the age of 18. She loved to dance and met her husband Michael; they were married on September 29, 1945. They moved to St. Adolphe on a family farm and started their family of five children. A year after Michael passed, Violet sold the farm and moved to St. Charles. In 1997 she moved into the Colorado Estates condo, then in October 2008 she moved to the Niverville Heritage Centre, and then to St. Pierre Repos Jolys until her passing. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the staff at both Niverville and St. Pierre.
