In Memory of Violet: Assist Her Grieving Family

Donation protected
Violet was a vibrant 16 year old girl with a bright and promising future. She was junior in high school, had two jobs, was actively involved in her community of peers, and was looking forward to starting down the path toward becoming a carpenter. Tragically, on the evening of Monday, November 17, 2025 as she was crossing a major intersection near her home and workplaces, Violet's life was cut short when she was struck by a car and killed. Her family and friends have been left devastated by losing Violet.

Many have asked how they can support her dad, Rich, and Violet's family in this heartbreaking time. Friends of the family are hoping to help ease the financial burden of expenses involved with Violet's unexpected passing. Rich is in need of assistance with funeral arrangements and residual medical costs; this fundraiser will go directly to those expenses. Violet's family is greatly appreciative of all donations and support, prayers, and well wishes.

Service information will be shared once available.

UPDATE

Visitation for Violet will be held Saturday, November 29, 2025 from 10a - 3p at Sunset Funeral and Cemetery, located at 6425 Columbia Rd. North Olmsted, OH.

Rich and his family thank you all so much for your support in this unthinkably difficult time. It means more than can be expressed.
