Violet is survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great nieces, great-great-nephews, relatives and friends.

Violet Mary Griebel was born Feb. 18, 1928, in Cottonwood Township to Joseph Sr. and Anna (Reinhart) Griebel. She attended country grade school and was a 1946 graduate from New Ulm High School. Violet attended one year of nurses training at St. Olaf in Northfield, but soon after went into a career in accounting. Violet worked as an accountant in the metro area at such places as Standard Oil, Kraft, and Blue Cross before eventually retiring from Toro in 1993. Besides her work as an accountant, Violet also modeled in the metro area. Violet will forever be remembered by her family as a beautiful, intelligent, confident and classy woman. She always knew how to make you feel special and important and always had time for her nieces and nephews and the next generation of great-nieces and great-nephews. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Blessed be her memory.
