Viola was my aunt and she will be missed greatly. She was always there for the family & very generous. Loved her flowers and always showed them to everyone.
Sorry she didn’t make it to her 100th Bday next week but she will be celebrating in heaven with the Lord and all her family.
My sympathy to Billy Joe & Sue and all the family.
Great Aunt Viola was a strong, caring lady. Her laugh was so memorable! I will treasure the memories of time with her. I hold fast to the thought of her being with her loved ones that went before. She often told us of the comfort her memories gave her. Much love to Billy and Sue and all other family members.
As all of the Schieche children seemed to be, Aunt Viola was a unique individual. She was loved by all, and will be dearly missed.
May Peace and Love be with you Billy Joe and Sue.
Great Grandma was one of the Sweetest women I knew. I had the very great privilege of meeting her on a few occasion’s and she always treated everyone she met like she’d known them forever. So glad I got the opportunity to meet her in her very impressive lifetime. She is definitely survived by enough people that her memory will live on and on for generations to come. We love you Great Grandma!

As I write this I realize that Viola would have been 100 years old today. That was quite a life! She shared her secret for her beautiful flowers years ago with my mother, Jamie Bingham. I have continued to use Epsom Salts as her secret ingredient every season and always think of Aunt Viola when I fertilize my roses and other flowers and plants!
Jim and I offer our condolences to all of Viola’s extended family. Especially so to Bill and Sue and Kenny Bill and Heidi!
