Viola M. Rigsbee

Vi was a ball of fun. She was the life of the party and would give you the shirt off her back. Vi was what one would say who “tells it like it is” you never had to guess what was on her mind, and how she felt about you.

Vi enjoyed watching television while smacking on a bag of candy! The Sci-fi network, and law and order were her favorites. Although she was known to be a jokester, Vi always made sure she called you just to say, “I Love you!”
