Etta Violet Mallone was the fifth of eight children born to David Powell Mallone (1849–1913) and Martha "Mary" Ann Byrd (1848–1918).
She married to William Albert Furry on 30 Jun 1901, in Brown County, Texas. They had eight children:
- Leola Julia Furry (1902–2000)
- Leona Esther "Pud" Furry (1904–1997)
- Homer Lester Furry (1906–1956)
- Margie Ann Furry (1909–1985)
- Harvey Thurman "Slim" Furry (1912–1965)
- anonymous infant Furry (1915–1915)
- James "Jake" Thurman Furry, Sr. (1918–1979)
- Wanda Lorene Furry (1921–1991)
Leola Julia, Leona "Pud" Esther, Homer Lester, Margie Ann, Harvey "Slim" Thurman, (stillborn infant), James "Jake" Thurman and Wanda Lorene.
No stranger to hard work, Etta shared in farm duties, even roofing the family home. Her great-granddaughter Sandra recalls, "I remember a story about Etta Violet. When there were repairs to be made around the house, my great-grandmother would dress in pants and a hat (as a man), since it was not appropriate for women to do a man's manual work."
