Vi was involved with the Baildon United Church, community ladies groups, and in later years after moving into Moose Jaw, Minto United Church.

If family is one of nature’s masterpieces, Auntie Violet achieved a major work of art. Auntie Vi had so much power and love packed into such a small package. Your soul lives on in the hearts of the people you touched. Your family’s legacy and your family’s future are secure. May God grant you the peace and rest you’ve earned for a long-life that was well-lived. With heartfelt sympathy to the Clothier family.
