Myers, Violet Marie
MADISON-Our wonderful Mom, Violet Marie Myers, 89, passed away on Saturday, May 23, 2015, at Agrace HospiceCare, in the arms of her son and daughter, and surrounded by the love of her family. She was born in Madison on Dec. 26, 1925, the middle of five children born to August and Mabel Grunert. Vi was left alone to raise her first child, Francis 'Cliff' Clifton on the east side of Madison until she met the love of her life, Warren H. Myers. They married on Aug. 15, 1953, when Vi also became 'Mom' to Warren's two sons, followed by four children born of their union. Vi was employed at Rayovac for over 30 years, retiring in 1992. She was proud to be a member of the 25 Year Club. Vi enjoyed gardening, dining out, playing cards and games with her family, and casino junkets. Above all, Vi loved and cherished her family. She was the very best, most loving mother we could ever ask for. Her love and guidance will never be forgotten. Carrying on her legacy of love are her children, Dick (Sheila) Myers and Tom Myers, both of Spokane, Wash.; Glenn (Carla) Myers of Waunakee; Nancy (Mike) White of Sun Prairie; Pastor Steve (Shari) Myers of Manhattan, KS and Suzi (Shawn) Shaub of Madison; along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother, Dick Grunert; and many nieces and nephews. She was greeted in heaven by her parents; her husband, Warren H. Myers; her son, Cliff; her granddaughter, Julie; her sisters, Shirley Hanevold and Lorraine Allen; her brother, Bob Grunert; and her life-long friend, Delores Stauffacher. Funeral service will be held at GUNDERSON EAST FUNERAL HOME, 5203 Monona Dr., Madison, on Tuesday May 26, 2015, at 11 a.m. Visitation will be at the funeral home from 9 a.m. until the time of the service. A private family interment will be held at Highland Memory Gardens. In lieu of flowers, memorial to Agrace HospiceCare would be appreciated. The family wishes to thank mom's hospice team, Nicole, Carmen, Megan, and especially her Angel on Earth, April, whose loving care during her final journey allowed her to remain safe and comfortable in her own home.

Mom, I cannot express the words in my heart as I travel this new path without you. Your love and support will help me to carry on, but the feel of your hand in mine can now only be a memory. I will miss you forever, but will hold you in my heart and your smile lives in my memory.
Hugs, kisses and love go with you - to share with Dad and Cliff.
Your loving daughter, Nancy

Mom, I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since we lost you. I think about and miss you everyday. You are my angel in heaven and even though I can no longer see you, I feel you around me, still guiding me, which brings comfort. It may be a song, a bird, a rainbow, but I know you're there for me. I miss you more than I can say. Love forever, Nanc
