Violet was brought up by her adoptive parents in Blackpool, England. She
worked during the war building wings for Wellington bombers and after the
war in her first husband Tom’s chemist shop. In her youth she was very
active in sports especially swimming, table tennis and cricket. She and her
family emigrated to North Bay in 1957. After her first husband’s death,
she worked at North Bay Civic Hospital in the Admitting Department. In 1972,
she married Robert Nicoll and spent the remainder of her long life as a home
maker. She volunteered with Meals on Wheels, Sons of Scotland, The
Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of Canada and was active in the Calvin
Presbyterian Church, but her main activity was enjoying her grandchildren,
great grandchildren and especially her dogs. She was also an avid supporter
of North Bay Centennials and her sons and grandsons soccer teams. She will
be fondly remembered by her close friends Jean, Joan, Pam and Helen.
