Violet Hemingway was born June 21, 1919 to parents Tom and Jane Moore. She passed away on April 19, 2022 at the Nokomis Health Centre.
Raised in Last Mountain District near Duval, SK she had many good memories of summer picnics, ball games, Christmas concerts, local dances and family gatherings while growing up.

It was here that she met Fred Hemingway and was married on February 4, 1942. They lived in the Saline Creek area for one year, moving to the Semans area for three years and then to a farm in the Richfarms area near Nokomis where they raised their nine children. Her large family kept her busy with a huge garden, school lunches, and chickens and turkeys to raise each year.

She enjoyed many trips with both family and friends, including visits to the British Isles, France, PEI, Nashville, Hawaii, Disneyland, Florida, Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand.
Her later years were kept busy with the Nokomis Senior Citizens Organization and get togethers with family who often brought her much happiness. As she often said, “I had a good life.”
