Primarily of catholic faith, she was a member of the former St. Peter and Paul Church, Avoca, and the former St. Lawrence O’Toole Church, Old Forge, later affiliating herself with Moosic Assembly of God Church.
Violet was sweet and loving and known to be a mother to many outside of her family. Coming from a musically inclined family, she often enjoyed watching her children and grandkids sing and play and dance as her favorite pastime.
