Violet Marie Foutch

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Byron Foutch and their firstborn infant daughter, Carol.

Violet is survived by her three daughters Cynthia, Eileen, and Gloria; her six grandchildren, Gabrielle, Justin, Stephanie, Travis, Chris, and Leanna; and ten great-grandchildren, Eve, Kaitlyn, Cannen, Grant, Corey, Landon, Sam, Hayden, Coral, and Nathan, in addition to spouses and much-loved bonus grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Violet was born and raised in New York City with her aunt Evelyn who was like a sister to her. While Violet was at the roller skating rink as a teenager, a U.S. Navy sailor from Tennessee named Byron Foutch asked this petite Manhattan beauty to skate with him, which led to marriage and a lifetime of love. She also lived in Tennessee, Massachusetts, Georgia, and Virginia.

Violet had a successful career in the insurance industry for several years. She was an excellent cook and an accomplished seamstress who sewed many dresses for her daughters as they grew up. She instilled a love of reading in her daughters through frequent visits to the library. Violet was a frequent volunteer in school and church, and she enjoyed weekly canasta games with her neighborhood friends. She was a creative person with a keen intelligence, and she sparkled with happiness and laughter. She will be greatly missed.
