Violet Elaine Strong was born Nov. 9, 1932, on a farm west of Elgin to Irvin and Pearl Tuttle Dagget Alderson. She attended schools at Bartlett, Ericson and rural schools at Palmer and Clearwater before completing her education in Ewing.
She was united in marriage to Lester L. Strong in Madison on Oct. 7, 1948. The couple made their home at O'Neill. In 1954, they moved to Norfolk, where they raised their family of eight children.
Violet worked at Prenger's restaurant from 1963 to 1971. In 1971, she became employed at Sherwood Medical, where she spent 23 and one-half years, retiring in 1995.
She enjoyed camping and traveling, but most of all she loved her family, and most every holiday was spent at grandma and grandpa's house.
