Violet Mann Obituary

VIOLET LILLIAN MANN
October 22, 1923 ~ February 18, 2011
"Heaven will never be the same with her
"I-can't-breathe-anymore" laughter."

Violet Mann of Vancouver, WA, went home to be with the Lord on Fri., Feb. 18, 2011. She was born to Frank and Frieda Legato in 1923 in eastern Montana where she grew up with two sisters and three brothers. The family moved to Vancouver where Vi went to work in the shipyards as a burner.
She met and married John Mann and moved to Iowa where their son, Ron, was born. In 1952 they returned to Vancouver where Violet worked for Kaiser Permanente for 30+ years.
After retiring from Kaiser she went to work in her church office.
"I can still remember the sound of her high heels on the
slate floors as she collected the Sunday school attendance books."
Violet loved to work in the yard and make banquet sized dinners for friends and family. Her greatest desire was to be with her close friends and family in heaven for eternity.
She is survived by her son, Ron Mann and his wife, Debbie; grandsons, Christopher and Sean Mann; brother, Norman Legato; and many nieces, nephews and their families.
I dare not forget her many lady friends who gave comfort and support, and to them I say, "God bless you for sharing your love with such a loving soul!"
Violet was preceded in death by her husband, John; sisters, Virginia and Cecelia; and brothers, Albert and Robert. They are united again.
There will be a viewing at Evergreen Memorial Gardens on Fri., Feb. 25 from noon to 9:00 p.m. and cryptside service on Sat., Feb. 26 at 10:00 a.m. A memorial service will be held at the First Evangelical Church, 4120 NE St. Johns Rd., on Sat., Feb. 26 at 1:00 p.m.

The Mann Family, It was 70 plus years ago that my wife Kay met Vi, it was about 60+ years ago that I met Vi. Vi was the epitome of a LADY. Thats a word very seldom used anymore, but, to know Vi was to be honored to know a LADY. She will always be remembered in our hearts as that.

We met Vi and John through Bob and Donna. We went to dinner several times. Vi was a friendly, kind, soft-spoken lady and we both enjoyed her company. We will miss them all.

I have known Vi through church and bowling for many years. She was a classy and friendly lady; and she never looked her age! I will always remember the time we went for fast food, and I was considered the senior citizen. (I was 20 years younger!) She is already missed.

What a classy and friendly lady. Never looked her age. I will always remember when we went to a fast food and I, 20 years younger, was taken for the senior citizen! She was a great friend and will be missed.

I met Vi in the Fall of 2006 when I joined a bowling league. She was one of my teammates. I got to know her through that and dominoes. What a privilege to know her. Vi's courage and her faith and kindness are virtues I will always remember about her. You will be missed!
