I worked at Native Textiles and took many breaks chatting it up with Vi, she was a lovely lady, RIP
The only word that I can describe Aunt Violet was sweet. She always had a smile . I enjoyed a few visits with her and her stories about growing up in her large family.
I know her family adored her and will miss her everyday.
Aunt Violet was just a sweetheart. Always wore a smile. She’ll be missed for sure. 💕
