She was a great mother to Michael Burnette and the late Debbie Causey. Violet was a great sister to her brother, Sonny Barker.

She also enjoyed seeing all her great-grandchildren and being involved with Cody Ezzell (Elizabeth), Blake Scrivner, Cameron Ezzell, Zeke Scrivner, and Cayden Ezzell. In addition to her parents and daughter, she was preceded in death by her sister-in-law, Mary Barker.
