Viola grew up with her family in southeastern Oklahoma. In 1953, she graduated from Pine

Springs High School in Oklahoma. Viola married Henry Burrows when she was 19 and they

moved to California. They would spend the winters near Desert Hot Springs and the summers

in Twin Peaks. Each year they would travel back to Oklahoma to their home near Center Point

to visit family and friends. Viola was an intelligent and kind woman. Although she never had any

of her own, she loved her nieces and nephews. She loved living in the mountains of San

Bernardino where she enjoyed feeding raccoons on her porch. She truly loved to thrift shop

looking for treasures. Viola also enjoyed crocheting and gave many beautiful pieces as gifts.
