was someone who
was a friend to ev-

no strangers in her
life, only friends she
hadn’t met yet.
Violet “Vi” Hall
was born in On- Hall
alaska, Washington,
March 19, 1926, to
Rogel and Myrtle
Music. She grew up
with her parents and
brothers in the Ta-
coma, Washington,
area. After her fa-
ther’s tragic death, at Hall
age 12 Violet became
her mother’s biggest helper.
During the Depression, Vi-
olet learned to be frugal and
became one of the world’s
best at reusing and recycling,
a passion she maintained
throughout her life.
She met her future hus-
band, Edward Hall, while
living in Haines, Oregon,
in 1944. They were mar-
ried February 9, 1945. Vi,
Ed and the four older kids
lived in Haines until 1961
before moving to Hermis-

were born. In the house on

compassion, integrity, hon-

home was the neighborhood
gathering place for kids who
often enjoyed a sweet treat
hot out of the oven. It was a
warm and welcoming home
full of books, games and
puzzles for all of the kids to
enjoy and learn from.
Violet believed in the
value of education. She
was a lifelong learner and
passed this value on to all of
her children. She was very
proud of her 20-plus years
as an OSU mom, serving as
the local chapter’s organizer
and historian. Violet wasn’t
just a supporter, she was a
cheerleader of her children’s
dreams, their education and
all their various endeavors.
Violet was a volunteer

volunteered at the Hermis-

proud of her family’s pio-

many hours on the family’s
genealogy, recording her
family’s history for future
generations.
