Memorial services for Violet V. Stoer will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at Concordia Lutheran Church, Oak Harbor, with Pastor Juan Palm officiating.

Violet V.”Vi” Stoer, 84, died at Whidbey General Hospital Sept. 11, 2004, following an extended illness. She was born Nov. 8, 1919, in Shark River Hills, N.J., to Alfred and Eliza Mae (Campbell) Dodd.

Vi spent much of her life in New Jersey. She was our adventure woman, always meeting new people, taking trips to new places and living life to the fullest. She loved taking pictures and would offer to take your picture, get your address and then mail the picture to you.

Whether you met Vi in the store, at the beach, or on a trip, you would feel that you had known her all your life. Her love for others reflected the love she had for God. She was our mom, our granny, and especially, our fun loving friend.

Violet Stoer is survived by one daughter Nancy M. Wyckoff and husband Tom of Oak Harbor. Four grandchildren, Debbie Buell of Denver, Colo.; Laura Pangia of Milledgeville, Ga.; Susie Wyckoff of Renton; and Melissa (Mo) Kutschara of Kent, and eight great-grandchildren also survive.

Arrangements and cremation were under the direction of Burley Funeral Chapel, Oak Harbor.
