Violet Virginia Newton Andersen passed away quietly on April 1, 2015. She was ninety-two years old.
After discovering breast cancer and surviving the mastectomy surgery at the age of ninety, there were complications from that cancer that claimed her in the end.
In accordance with her deepest desires, she passed in her East Millcreek home of more than fifty years, with little medical intervention and minimal discomfort.
Born in 1923 in Salt Lake City to Antone Andersen, a Danish immigrant, and Hildur Erickson, a Swedish immigrant, Violet was the youngest of their four daughters.
Her mother, Hildur, and sister, Ester, both passed when Violet was very young. Her father married Alma, another Swedish immigrant woman who became the mother Violet knew and loved dearly. Violet's two older sisters, Ann (Alvord) and Evelyn (Johnson), both preceded Violet in death.
Violet spent her lifetime in Salt Lake building her family legacy.
In 1941, she married Douglas Gerald Newton, who preceded her in death in 1988. Together, they had five children: Jeri Lynn (Tiffany), Janice Lee (Wagaman), Judy Layne (Palmer), Jill Lynette (Leatham) and Steven Douglas.
Jeri and Jill both preceded Violet in death. The loss of both before their time had a deeply profound effect on the entire family.
Violet is survived by Janice, Judy, and Steven, fourteen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, and six great-great-grandchildren.
Per Violet's request, there will only be a short graveside service held on Monday, April 6, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 3401 South Highland Drive (1495 East), East Millcreek.
