Viola was a loving mother and grandmother and her home in Lexington was always a welcoming
place for family and friends to gather.  She especially enjoyed cooking for her large extended

collected over many years and these became her trademark, her sparkle.  And as time passed,
she found joy in passing these along to her friends and family.
