Viola was born on December 1, 1926, in Campton, NH, the daughter of the late Frank and Dorothy (Kimball) Dustin. She was married to the late Conrad H. Simoneau.
Viola was employed by Lakes Region General Hospital in the Central Sterile and Laundry departments, retiring in 1990 after 23 years of dedicated service.
Viola had a contagious smile that left a lifetime impression on anyone she met. She was everyone's sunshine on a dark day. Viola was a loving and compassionate lady who loved life itself. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, arts & crafts, and crocheting. She enjoyed music and dancing and was the "life of the party" no matter where she went. She was always giggling at everything which earned her the nickname "Giggles" by her extended family at St. Francis Nursing home. She enjoyed spending time with her long-time friend Mary DeHart and she especially enjoyed time with her grandchildren.
Viola leaves behind by her son Allen Evans, sister Mary Morse, CT, daughter-in-law Nancy Mooney, Belmont, NH, three grandchildren Stacy Simoneau-Hutchinson, Andrew Simoneau, and Michael Mooney all of Laconia.
