Obituary: Myers, Violet Marie
Age 89
She was born in Madison on December 26, 1925, the middle of five children born to August and Mabel Grunert.
Vi was left alone to raise her first child, Francis ‘Cliff’ Clifton on the east side of Madison until she met the love of her life, Warren H. Myers.
They married on August 15, 1953, when Vi also became ‘Mom’ to Warren’s two sons, followed by four children born of their union.
Vi was employed at Rayovac for over 30 years, retiring in 1992.
She was proud to be a member of the 25 Year Club.
Vi enjoyed gardening, dining out, playing cards and games with her family, and casino junkets.
Above all, Vi loved and cherished her family.
She was the very best, most loving Mother we could ever ask for.
Her love and guidance will never be forgotten.
Carrying on her legacy of love are her children, Dick (Sheila) Myers and Tom Myers, both of Spokane, WA; Glenn (Carla) Myers of Waunakee; Nancy (Mike) White of Sun Prairie; Pastor Steve (Shari) Myers of Manhattan, KS and Suzi (Shawn) Shaub of Madison, along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother, Dick Grunert and many nieces and nephews.
She was greeted in Heaven by her parents, her husband, Warren H. Myers; her son, Cliff; her granddaughter, Julie; her sisters, Shirley Hanevold, Lorraine Allen; her brother, Bob Grunert and her life-long friend, Delores Stauffacher.
