Notes

  • Obituary: It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Violet K. Williams at the age of 95. Violet passed peacefully in her Pugwash Junction home with family by her side on April 4, 2016. Born July 12, 1920, Violet was predeceased by her parents Robert and Jeannette (Bowen) Hamilton, husband Sherman, sisters Anna, Edith, brother James, half-brother Donald, son Elvin, and grandson Adam.

Violet was the heart of her family. She was so proud of all her children and grand children and often stated "they are all so good looking too!". A cup of tea and a good chat was always welcomed in her kitchen and if you were down or weary you could have a lay down on the comfy kitchen cot listening to the crackling fire in the wood burning stove. Known for her community work, endless kindness and generosity. Violet was a member of the East Cumberland Lodge Ladies Auxiliary, Eastern Star, and United Church of Canada. She was very proud of her Scottish heritage. Violet also loved to play cards with her friends, have singalongs, and dance a little jig.

A graveside service will be held Thursday, April 7. at 2 p.m., in the Eaton Cemetery Pugwash Junction, reception to follow at the Gospel Hall, Pugwash Jct.
