IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Violet J.
(Johnson) Morehart
August 31, 1933 – January 28, 2017
Violet J. (Johnson) Morehart, age 83 of Canton, passed away January 28, 2017. Born in Canton to the late John and Anna Johnson, she was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, Jack Morehart, just one year ago, and her sister Verna Zimmerman. Violet was a 1952 graduate of McKinley High School. She was a beautician for 25 years. Violet was on the board of the Canton Ballet for many years and also the Junior Guild. Known to many as 'Grandma Vi', she wore many crowns in her life. She was a model, beauty queen, wife, mother, grandma, great-grandma and friend to all. She was the person you could always count on for undying love. Violet is survived by her children John Morehart, Jeanne Mahaffey, Dave (Jenny) Morehart; five grandchildren Morgan (Justin) Molenaur, Jonathan Mahaffey, Kaylie Morehart, Coby Morehart (Rebecca Fagen), Carter Jackson Morehart; two great-grandchildren Mason Jack and Karina Rose Molenaur; sisters Vivian Himes and Velma Gelal. The family would like to send their heartfelt gratitude to Advantage Home Health Care, The Cleveland Clinic, Mercy Medical Center and Dr. Michael Trimonia. Family and friends will be received on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Rossi Family Funeral Home, with a Memorial service to follow at 7 p.m., with Rev. Barritt W. Durbin officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Make A Wish Foundation.
