Passed away peacefully at home on August 14, 2020 in her 84th year. She was predeceased by her parents, Herbert and Doris. Violet will be truly missed by her housemates and the many people who supported her and loved her through Community Living London. Violet was one of the original small group who attended the first school program created in London in 1952 for children with developmental disabilities.; the first step in the creation of what is now Community Living London.
Violet lived life her way. She loved to look beautiful – manicured nails, pretty clothes and lots and lots of jewelry were true pleasures. Violet would love bus tours and travel to local tourist places. Her favourite place to visit was the butterfly conservatory in Niagara Falls. The feeling of a butterfly silently landing on her arm brought her joy.
Flowers and condolences can be sent to Violet's loved ones, housemates, or caring support staff. Memorial donations in Violet's honour may be made to Community Living London.
A graveside service will take place on Thursday August 20th, 2020 at Mount Pleasant Cemetery beginning at 2pm.
