It was such a special time to visit with my aunt Viola this past summer. I made the trip from Florida because I wanted to spend some time with her so badly for past few years . During my visit shared stories about our family history that were priceless. Whenever we spoke on the phone over the many years she always shared her wisdom and gave me very good advice . In spite of her hardships in life I feel she had the most wonderful , cheerfully and positive attitude I could imagine! I’m going to always try to remember that in the future in my life. I loved my aunt Viola very much and I am going to miss her dearly.
My depest condolences to Viola’ s Family. I loved Viola, She was amazing. I miss her already. Thursdays will never be the same at 9:30 when I looked foward to seeing her to do her hair. RIP angel. One day we will meet again.
I am very sorry for your loss. Your mom will be missed

I loved to watch her bowl, her pin point accuracy was a rare talent, she would knock down more pins with one ball than I could with three.
I will miss her .

I am not sure there was any person, man or woman who was more more mentally tough than Vy Conroy! She maintained a quiet dignity that you can only find in our parents time.The Greatest Generation includes women as well! Mrs. Conroy was not willing to institutionalize her first born child Debra, who was non-verbal and confined to a wheelchair! Instead she dedicated her life to the health and well being of Debby as well as raising her son George. i always admired her for not putting Debby away!
It makes me very happy that Mrs. Conway was able to bowl and golf right up to the end of her life.
The fact that she got a Hole -in -one as a senior citizen makes almost anybody who golfs jealous, a fact that she was deservedly proud of! She was an example of a woman who walked the walk! SHE WILL BE MISSED ! Keith Miller
Dear George – I am so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She is an angel in heaven now watching over you and your family. Please accept my condolences –
