Obituary of Violet Matilda Wegner

Violet Matilda Wegner was born on September 17, 1935 to William and Frieda (nee Bohl) Wegner on the family farm. Violet was the first child of 5 to bless the Wegner family. Violet moved into Yorkton with her mom and dad in October 1973 when the family farm was sold. Her home at 163 Ontario Ave. would be her pride and joy till 2016. Violet's move to Yorkton also gave her a chance to find another more personal home, as she become a faithful member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church and considered it her family. In 2016 Violet moved to the YDNH and remained there until her passing. During Violet's days at Wallace school, she enjoyed ball and any type of sports. Even in her later years, she enjoyed watching ball being played either outside in Yorkton or on TV cheering for her Tigers. With her love of trying new sports, Violet become an avid bowler in the Yorkton league. An important part of Violet's life was her time spent with GO 4 Sports and Gloria and Flo (owners). Although, she didn't have a family of her own, her nieces and nephews and friends were very important to her. Violet took great pride in tracking all births, funerals, weddings and anniversaries to those she held dear. Violet's caring and compassionate nature allowed her to be an exceptional care giver to both her parents. When her mother passed away, she focused on taking care of her father (my daddy !) Violet found great joy in plants, especially her African Violets. They were seen on every window sill throughout the house. When you visited Auntie Violet, you could be sure to find her outside in her garden, or inside cooking something for her nieces and nephews.
