Violet was born September 4, 1946 in Britt, IA; daughter of Donald Ward and Hazel Burgart. She attended Garner High School. Violet was united in marriage to Billy on September 3, 1977 in Garland, Texas. She was a dedicated homemaker and ensured the household ran smoothly for many years.
Violet was known to be a stubborn woman. There’s something undeniably admirable about a woman who knows her mind and sticks to her principles, even when faced with challenges or opposing viewpoints. If she had thoughts and opinions on something; she never shied from saying exactly what she thought. Violet loved animals, especially her dogs. Some might argue she loved them more than her grandchildren; but her capacity for love was abundant. Any particular day you could find Violet enjoying a nice cup of coffee or talking on the phone with her beloved friend Louis. Their conversations and friendship brought so much joy to her so; so we thank you.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Sherry Harper, Scott Huerta, Peggy Smith, Debbie (Juan) Flores, Steven Huerta, April (Joe) Jones, and Rudy (DeeDee) Huerta; 30 grandchildren; 41 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren; sisters, Nancy Carbajal, Kathy Smith, and Barb (Scott) Witt; brothers, Dave (Sue) Ward, and Jim (Marge) Ward; beloved dogs Michael and Oscar; as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.
Preceding her in death are her husband, Billy Huerta; mother Hazel Burgart; daughters, Connie and Jeanette Huerta; brother-in-law, Jack Miller; son-in-law, Timothy Smith Sr.; and grandchildren, Steven and Lourina Huerta.
