Viola L. Emery

Viola L. Emery, 86, of Fond du Lac, passed away on Sunday,
February 3, 2019 at Woodlands Senior Park. She was born on September 11, 1932
to the late Charles and Anne (Mueller) Groeschel in Stockbridge, WI.

On September 1, 1956, she married the love of her life,
Eugene M. Emery at St. Mary’s Church in Stockbridge. He preceded her in death

Vi graduated from Stockbridge High School. She held various
positions throughout her life and retired from HC Prange, where she was a
switchboard operator at the service desk. She was a long-time member of St.
Louis Catholic Church and currently a member of Holy Family Parish.

Vi had a big heart. She cared for anyone whom she met during
her path in life. She loved to dance, listen to music, cook and garden – she
had a green thumb when it came to growing roses. She loved spending time with
her grandchildren and family. Vi also enjoyed time with her family at their
cottage on Lake Winnebago.

sisters and one brother.
