She died March 1980 and is buried in the Fairmont Cemetery in Denver Co. At the time of her death she lived in Arvada, CO. I am actually researching the Westfall family. Violet married my ggrandmother's brother Robert Lawrence Westfall, he is also buried in the Fairmont Cemetery. I found a Westfall that has told me that Violet married a Nertel and had 9 children, then married Robert Westfall. Robert was born in Illiois. I only have names for 3 of the children....Lawrence N, Harry and Alex. I guess Violet's children all took the Westfall name when she married Lawrence. If any of this interests you just let me know.
