Vi was predeceased by her husband, Roger; her parents, David and Roseanna Thibodeau; special sister, Doris O'Hearn; and brothers, Norman and Lawrence Thibodeau. Violet is survived by her children, Joan Banville, Brenda Harvey, and Gary Harvey; a special daughter-in-law, Louise Harvey; and son-in-law, David Lawlor, who each carry forward her spirit and values.
