passed away when Viola was a young girl, and she worked in the corn fields for
a few pennies a day to help support her other siblings. She met and married
her first husband, Everett Bricker, in Missouri. They traveled west, working
in orchards and farms from California to Washington, and lived in Wapato and
Toppenish for a few years while beginning their family. They moved to East
Wenatchee and had another son. They continued working in the orchards until
Everett's untimely death in April 1950. Viola later met and married Herbert

their income by raising fruits and vegetables which they sold to local grocery
stores. She worked as a meat wrapper for Blue Ribbon Market and later at Peter
Rabbit Stores for many years. Later, she worked for Snyders Bread until

they planted a small cherry orchard on their two-acre homesite in East
Wenatchee. They were members of the Growers Association for many years and the
gigantic bing cherries they produced won top honors for a number of years.
After Herbert died, Viola continued running the orchard until 1994, when she
sold the property and built a small house in town. Viola enjoyed attending PEB
