A Celebration of Life will be at a later date with family and friends in Southern California for Viola E. Howard of Mountain Home, Arkansas.

In 1981 she moved to Santa Maria, California where she sold real estate for another fifteen years. She was a past member of Eastern Star and Daughters of the American Revolution.
