Obituary

Ms. Viola Helen Green Viola was born April 1, 1920, in Sunnyside Texas to parents Alberta Muse and Orange Venson. She was the firstborn of the union. She was educated in the Bob Burton school until she left to care for her younger siblings after the death of her mother.

Viola loved the Lord and was raised in a family that attended church regularly. She joined Church and gave her life to Christ at a very young age. She was a faithful member of Wesley Chapel Methodist Church until its closure. She then transferred her membership to Downey United Methodist in San Felipe, Tx. She worshiped there faithfully until declining health prevented her from attending services. After it was no longer possible for her to attend in person, she continued to receive Holy communion monthly from her traveling pastor.

Viola Worked many years for the Houston Independent School District. However; the position that brought her the most joy was the years she spent caring for and as a travel companion to the children of Mr. Benjamin Mock. Her travels with the Mock Family allowed her to travel across the entirety of the United States and make many unforgettable memories.

Viola met and married Milam Wilkins in 1936. To that union three children were born, Dorothy, John, and Milam Jr. In addition to that union Viola was married two more times. She was married to Mr. Sam Green and Mr. Ernest Chatman.

She quietly slipped into eternity while being cared for by her daughter and granddaughter.
