Violet Huseby Obituary

Violet Lea (Gray) Huseby

Violet Lea Huseby passed on to our heavenly Father Monday February 22, 2016. Born to William "Elmer" and Civil Catherine Gray July 23, 1950 in Harrison , Arkansas. Early in her life the family moved to Eudora, KS. Violet graduated from Eudora High School in 1968 and then from the Kansas City Business College before beginning her lifelong career serving at the University of Kansas. She spent her early years working at the Lawrence campus and the last 25 years at the School of Nursing at the KU Medical Center. Prior to and during her retirement, she volunteered with a local therapeutic equestrian club and enjoyed square-dancing.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father.

Violet was a wonderful mother and will be greatly missed by many. She is survived by her children Dana Schanuth, Christina SInclair, Jared Huseby and her nine grandchildren, all of Independence, MO. She is also survived by her brother Larry Gray of Lawrence, KS.

A memorial service will take place Saturday February 27. The family welcomes visitors at 4:00 p.m. at Outreach Restoration Branch 723 S. Crysler Ave. Independence, MO. 64052. Memorial service will follow at 4:30 p.m. Share your memories of Violet and a dish at the potluck dinner after the service.

Her legacy of love will abound for generations to come. Her selfless nature was always visible and her strength never wavered, even until the end. Violet was an avid reader and in accordance with her wishes, memorial donations in Violet's memory benefiting the Eudora Public Library may be made to the Douglas County Community Foundation/Eudora Public Library

What a wonderful example of a caring, loving, and faithful daughter while sharing that same love to all of her family. Violet was certainly a true friend and memorable classmate. It's a joy to have known her but also to know this is not good-bye, but rather so long, until we meet again.
