Viola A. (Violette) Guimond, 88, of Plainville, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 25, 2011 at Brittany Farms Health Care Center. She is now reunited with her beloved husband of 50 years, Paul Guimond, who predeceased her in 1996.
Viola was born in Canada on September 15, 1922, the daughter of the late Edmund and Eva (Theriault) Violette. Raised in Canada, she relocated to Maine shortly after meeting Paul, and moved to Connecticut in the mid 1950’s where they raised their son, Gil. Viola was employed as a telephone operator both in Canada, and upon moving to Connecticut, working at New Britain General Hospital as their chief operator for more than 30 years. Vi had a love for music from a young age, was a member of the only all girl marching band in New Brunswick, and was an avid dancer well into her later years. She was talented at most crafts, particularly knitting and crocheting, whose intricate work was enjoyed by many family and friends.
Viola is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Gillman and Diane Guimond; her granddaughter, Brandi Kay and her husband, John; her great-grandchildren, Rhianna and Paige Miller and Shaelyn and Chase Kay all of Plainville; her brothers, Louis and Carmel Violette, both of Canada; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers, Albeo and Murillo Violette.
