She took the train west and landed in Calgary where she met her husband, Richard Legh. They were married 53 years and had 4 children. Violet enjoyed her beloved home in Calgary where she spent time with her children and grandchildren. She was a master at the New York Times crossword puzzles and loved spending the weekends at her husband’s cabin in Waiparous.
