Viola was a long-time member of the First Christian Church of Lebanon, MO. She was a devout and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was devoted to her husband Clyde, the love of her life, during their marriage of 69 years. She and Clyde loved dancing and enjoyed many years of dancing locally and traveling to dance. She also enjoyed raising her children, family gatherings, being with friends, camping, traveling, painting, exercising, arts and crafts, and gardening.
