I had the pleasure of knowing Violet as a client of the salon I worked at for many years and then this past year as her stylist. She was funny, easygoing and a bright light in the world. I will forever cherish her advice and outlook on life. May she rest in peace and I hope her family finds comfort in the fact she loved them immensely and was grateful to have their help especially this past year.

I am so saddened to hear of Violet’s passing. She was such a wonderful person and inspiration. She always looked out for everyone and took care of many family members and friends in their time of need. She had a huge heart, a great laugh and a love of crazy, silly and quacky birthday cards. She loved her little dog Lady with all of her heart and soul and gave her such a happy home. I will always hold my wonderful memories of Violet in a special place in my heart.
