A loving wife, mother and grandmother who leaves a legacy of love that will carry on for many generations. Violet was born in Pike, Tx on July 8, 1926 and spent much of her early years in Oklahoma City, Ok, where she met the love of her life, Vernon Paul Chance, and thats where their love story began. They married in 1948 and started their family. They moved to the Borger and Phillips area, where she worked as an operator at SPS. They retired in 1987 and spent some time traveling and enjoying time with one another. They moved to live with their daughter, Paulette, in Dalhart in 2016. Violet loved to work with her hands and had hobbies such as gardening, flower arrangements, quilting and reading. Taking her girls to buy flowers in the spring always brought her joy and their sweet little dog, Gus. She loved to watch QVC and joked how every day was a treat when the mailman showed up with another surprise! Violet was a vibrant woman who was full of life and always had a beautiful smile! She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her legacy includes a daughter, Paulette Carroll, a granddaughter Lori (Stephen) Davis, a great-granddaughter Haley (Jenaro) Hernandez and a great-great grandson Logan Hernandez.
