  • Notes 
    • Violet was pretty secretive about her age and would never teill us Grandkids how old she was. She slipped when they had their 50th wedding anniversery. She told us she was 16 when she got married. Duh, we finally discovered her age. In later years after that, she was proud of her living to such an old age.Grandma always kept a drivers lcense but never drove. I assume she learned to drive to get a license but it might not have been a requirement when she got hers. She kept it renewed for identification.
