Violet worked in the insurance industry and completed her business career with the Monarch Life Company.

She loved to laugh and had a wicked sense of humour. The family would like to extend thanks to all the staff at Oakview Place, one east, where Violet had been a resident for the past three years. The care she received was always the best. Services will be held at St. Johns Cathedral, 135 Anderson Ave., on Saturday, November 13 at 2:00 p.m. with The Rev. Brian Flower presiding.
