Mrs.Violet Flora Crampton,
age 94 years, passed away peacefully at Avonlea Villa, Avonlea,
Sask.
on Sunday, October 27, 2002. She was born in Owen
Sound,
Ontario
where she eventually met and married George Crampton of
Sask.
in 1927. She resided
in Woodrow,
Sask.
from 1927 until 1975, then to Lafleche until 1982 when she moved
to Moose
Jaw. Violet has resided at Avonlea Villa since 2000.
Before moving to Sask.
in 1927, Violet was employed as a Dental Assistant for George’s
cousin “Bud” in Owen
Sound. During their years together, George and Violet enjoyed many
winters in their second home in Texas. She developed many wonderful friendships there that lasted
the rest of her life. One
of her fondest memories was taking the C.G.I.T. girls camping and
acting as a role model for youth.
She also spent countless hours helping with “Cradle
Roll” welcoming the new babies into the United
Church
at Woodrow. Violet and
her daughter-in-law, Florence
would grow a garden of flowers specifically for this one special
day. Violet was a
homemaker, raising her only son on the Crampton family farm.
One of her
greatest joys was her grandchildren, who lived across the garden
path on the farm. In
later years, her great-grandchildren became as much of a joy.
Violet was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and
great-grandmother. She
was an active member in the Order of the Eastern Star, Winabel
Homemakers, U.C.W., church choirs, and the Friendship
Circle
at the First Baptist Church of Moose Jaw.
Predeceased by her parents, brothers, sister, and her
loving husband, George in 1987, she is survived by her only son,
Jim (Florence);
grandchildren: Ross
Crampton (Maxine)(Lisa); Susan Gillett (Doug)(Kurt, Trish), Joanne
Crampton (Madison),
and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held at W.J.Jones & Son Chapel
on Friday, November 1, 2002
at 1:30 pm. Reverend
Steven MacCuaig will officiate.
Interment will follow at Sunset
Cemetery.
Violet’s family would like to extend their thanks to the staff
at Avonlea Villa and to Dr. Wigmore for their care and kindness. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Avonlea Villa, Box
239, Avonlea,
S0H
0C0,

living memory of Violet, a tree will be planted in Wakamow
