Obituary of Violet Nelson

Violet Nelson entered into rest May 28, 2025 under the care of Niagara Hospice surrounded by her family. Born March 14, 1935, she was the daughter of Raymond and Bertha (Bonneau) Hoffman.

Violet was a substitute teacher for many school districts in Niagara county for more than 35 years. She loved working with the students, enjoyed many of the teachers and developed a close friendship with Linda Faust. She spent quality time with her five grandchildren when they were younger, often taking them for long weekends to Sherkston Beach in Canada. Violet was an avid reader and loved her dogs. She traveled abroad on several occasions. Great Britain was her favorite country of all. Born an only child she did have a special bond to a cousin on her husband's side, Beryl Davis, of Great Britain, who she considered a sister.

Violet was predeceased by husband Thomas G. Nelson.; beloved mother of Shari (Adam) Judd, Lynn (Richard) Garlock and Sandra (Timothy) Arlington; cherished grandmother of Andrew, Kari, Jennifer, Robert (Kelsey) and Christopher (Ayla); Great-grandmother of Ella and Kane.
