It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Violet Lorraine Baglien (Berry) on May 11, 2022 at the age of 80.
Vi was born April 16, 1942 in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario to Albert and Alena Berry. Proud loving mother and Bubba to 6 children, 12 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Vi will be forever missed by her surviving children Charlotte (Ed) Hubbard, Rhonda (Scott) Gibson, Ron Baglien and Lee (Albert) Aiello; her grandchildren/great grandchildren Kari (Courtney, Abella and Violet), Alex (Ryder), Roger (Jesus, Javier and Jasmine), Richard (Jaida and Jaxton), Valerie (Jesse-James), David (Soren), Kathryn (Lilly and Daisy), Jennifer, Vincent, Ryan, Sabrina and Baldino. Vi will also be missed by her surviving siblings Patricia Johnston (late Dave), Mary Ann (Bill) Vachon, Jeanette Ramsay (late Bruce), Lorraine (Ed) Guitard, as well as many nieces and nephews, and her best friends Marge and Dave.
Predeceased by her daughters Bonnie, Carolin and her siblings Eddie, June, Ronnie, John, Donnie, Gloria, Christine, Sonny, Danny and longtime partner Bill Sameluk. Mom was a lifelong waitress working at the Princess Grill, Doodles, Robins and Eddie Lee’s. Mom really enjoyed scratching tickets, visits from her sisters where they would play cards for hours and go to various casinos. Violet held the serenity prayer to heart – always & forever.
Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Prayer for Serenity
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
