Despondent over a failed marriage and divorce to George T. Bertolacci, Violet ended her life by shooting herself in the heart with her father's .32 caliber revolver. She died in her father's house, The Whaley House, in San Diego. She was 22 years old.

Her suicide note: Mad from life's history
Swift to death's mystery
Glad to be hurled
Anywhere, anywhere, out of this world

It is thought that her ghost haunts the Whaley House.
