Violet received her primary and secondary education in the Indianapolis Public Schools. Violet began her work career at Howard Johnson, later her career path was embraced for the talent she welcomed as a self-employed interior decorator before health concerns caused her to retire early. Violet accepted Christ at an early age, and was baptized as a child. Violet was united in Holy Matrimony to Larry Smith. Years later she divorced, and shared the remainder of her life with special companion Victor Offutt. Violet's Love of Life revolved around her Children, Grandchildren, and Family members.
