Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryVIOLET ELSIE KREITZ March 14, 1922 - August 29, 2015 In the early morning of August 29, 2015, Violet peacefully passed away at the Emerson Personal Care Home. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Dan; her loving daughter Diann; parents, William and Emma Becker; and her brother Walter. Violet will be forever loved and remembered by her sons, Ken (Carol), Ron (Sharon), Terry (Milli); as well as son-in-law Jim McDonald; her grandchildren, Jeri-Lynn (Kevin), Lyndsay (Mike), Jason (Sam), Jill (Warren), Brad, Kevin, Dylan, Sydney and Bret; as well great-grandchildren, Abrianna, Ben, Ava, Kennedy, Ryker and Lennox. She is also survived by two sisters, Ann and Ruth (August). Violet was born in Friedenstal, Manitoba. Her family was "my joy and foremost in my life". She was an avid gardener and a fabulous cook and baker. Countless wonderful meals were enjoyed at Mom's table. Education was very important to Mom. As she only had the opportunity to finish grade eight, she encouraged her children to further their education. She was proud to be a 50 year member of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church Women's group. She taught herself to play the organ and piano, and served as church organist for many years. She was a long-time choir member. Baptisms and confirmations were special events in her life. Mom provided a loving and nourishing environment for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. During her stay at the Care Home, she was especially happy to have Abrianna play the piano with Ben joining in to sing songs for her. The family would like to thank Dr. Aguilar and all those who provided compassionate care for Mom at the Care Home. The volunteers and entertainers enriched all the residents' lives. Mom's siblings were a great comfort to her. A service will be held on Friday, September 4, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Emerson, Manitoba. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Emerson, Manitoba. We love and miss you Mom.

Although I met her on her visits to my grandparents and parents farms at Camper, Manitoba it was not until later years when I started family research that I was blessed to know what a wonderful, loving and caring person she really was. I am so thankful that she had touched my life. May it comfort the family to know that so many care and wish them God's strength at this difficult time. - Posted by: Irma Erhart (Cousin's daughter ) on: Sep 02, 2015
