      Violet grew up in Manitoba & moved to Lethbridge in 1949 when Bill accepted a position at the Lethbridge Research Station. Violet's greatest love was her family. She was a very caring person who loved to help those in need. She was a strong supporter of the Salvation Army as every year she would make a hamper of knitted goodies to go to those less fortunate. Violet was a life time charter member of the Rebekah Lodge. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:30pm on Friday, April 22, 2016 at the Martin Brothers Riverview Chapel, CHAPEL, 610 - 4 Street South, Lethbridge, with Reverend Terry Shillington officiating.
