"On the morning of Tuesday, March 30, 2021, with family at her side, our loving matriarch, Viola May Ellison, took her last breath.
Viola was born on July 23, 1929, in Amazonia, Missouri to John and Viola (Parker) Sollars. She married Carl Harrison Ellison on October 16, 1946, after he returned from the war. She had her pick of suitors, but Carl's gorgeous smile and adorably large ears won her over. They bought a small home and started their life together. They endured triumphs and struggles, yet their love endured. They worked as a team to support others and selflessly adopted and cared for kids that needed a stable and loving home.
Viola was preceded in death by her parents, John and Viola; her siblings; and three of her children, Carl Raymond, John Ellison and Teresa Ellison. She is survived and missed by her extensive family and friends.
Funeral services 2:00 p.m. Thursday, Simplify Cremations & Funerals on the Avenue (formerly Stamey Funeral Home). Grandma has chosen to be cremated. Her ashes will be buried alongside her husband at St. John's Cemetery in Amazonia, Missouri at a later date." St Joseph News-Press, April 1, 2021
