Many will remember picking raspberries or buying other fruits and vegetables at Chapman’s Berry Farm on Vasey Road. Violet would often invite you in for raspberry vinegar and whatever dessert she had just made that day.

She will be greatly missed by her friends at Waverley Gospel Hall where Violet attended from when she was a child. Her faith and love for God was always paramount in her life and it was reflected in her daily. She is now in the place that she had talked about and sang about all these years, rejoicing in the one who saved her and prepared a place for her in heaven.
