Viola was a life-long member of Peace Lutheran Church in Wall Lake where she was baptized, confirmed and married. On June 27, 1940, Viola was united in marriage to Vernon W. Peters, 2 ½ years after meeting at a dance in Arcadia, Iowa. They operated a family café in Westside, Iowa until 1942 when Vernon enlisted in the Army Air Force. Viola accompanied him during his four years of service relocating several times from Iowa to Kansas, Florida, New Jersey, Georgia and Washington DC. She traveled to many new places and made some good friends but was glad to return to Westside where they owned and operated the Phillips 66 gas station. In 1951 they moved to Wall Lake, Iowa and purchased the hardware store, where Viola helped keep the books. In 1953 she worked to make the house they built a home and then prepared for the arrival of their son Kim Richard Peters in 1954. Viola enjoyed being a homemaker and liked to bowl, golf, knit, make rhubarb jelly, read and do crossword puzzles. She was active in her church, and supported her beloved husband in his many endeavors. Together they traveled the country including many trips to Kansas City, Missouri to see their grandchildren.
