With heavy hearts, the Lavigne family announces that their matriarch passed away peacefully

at The Grove Long Term Care Facility in Arnprior with loved ones by her side in the early hours of Friday, October 3, 2025.

Beloved wife of the late Roger Lavigne.

Dearly loved and devoted Mom of Helen Burgess (Murray), John “Russ” Lavigne (Joanne), Shirley Petruk, Diane Cybulski (Kevin), Clayton Lavigne (Sue),

Bea Blenkarn (Brian), Danny Lavigne (Sylvia), Paula Ferrier (Scott) and Laurie Beaudoin (Jean).

Above all, Violet was a woman of deep faith.

She faced life’s challenges with courage, determination and a genuine desire to help others.

Her many talents were displayed in her work, her crafts and the countless acts of kindness that she shared with others.

If raising a large family was not challenge enough, Vi managed to work in many different places while keeping her home fires burning and her family cared for.

Retirement to her was spending even more time with family and helping out when and where needed.

Never one to say no, she could always be counted on to help out in a pinch.

She will be missed in so many ways by so many people.
