Violet L. (Archer) Lane, Hoenshell, was born March 21, 1928, in Excelsior Springs, MO and was a lifelong resident of Missouri. The daughter of Ivan and Lena Archer, Violet married Dwight Lane in 1948 and had two daughters, Sandra and Sharon. After only 6 short years, Dwight passed away from cancer. In 1956, she married Howard W. Hoenshell and gave birth to four more children: Wayne, Warren, Carol and Gary. For the next 37 years they spent their time raising six children on a farm in Raymore, MO until Howard's death in 1993. As a young woman Violet had worked for the phone company. After the birth of her children she dedicated herself to her family. Violet did enjoy working at Week's Walnut Farm on a seasonal basis. In 1975, she re-entered the work force utilizing her remarkable sewing skills at Lovell Custom Draperies in Kansas City. After 12 years at Lovell's she took a position with Mary's Custom Draperies in Peculiar. Violet spent the next 28 years at Mary's, with the exception of 3 years spent caring for her mother and great-grandchildren. Over the course of her time employed at Mary's she expanded her sewing skills and forged a deep friendship with Mary. Violet's hobbies included crafting with her sister, Velma, and later with her daughters and daughters-in law; reading; and goofing around with her children every chance she got.
