Viola Hazel Bennett Croft lived by for 91 years until her peaceful death on January 10, 2008.
"Because of thy great bounty Lord each day I live." A woman of amazing talents and abilities, she lived life to the fullest when at times most would give up. "Because I have been sheltered, fed by thy good care, I cannot see another's lack and I not share." Her life was spent in splendid service to her family, friends, neighbors and perfect strangers. She was devoted to children and served many years in the Primary in the Highland View Ward and served 14 years as a Church Service Missionary in the Human Resource Department in the LDS Church Headquarters. "Because I have been blessed by thy great love, dear Lord, I'll share thy love again, according to thy word." With an unwavering faith and love for her Heavenly Father and her Savior Jesus Christ she, at 66 years old was called to serve in the Nashville Tennessee Mission (1981-1982). Her family is her greatest treasure and never a day went by they did not know of the love she had for them. Viola is preceded in death by her husband Charles Milton Croft, Jr., a daughter LuJuana, a son LaMar, her parents and siblings Louise, Alvin, and LaVon.
She is survived by her sons; Scott (Sheila) of West Jordan, Gerald of Salt Lake City, and Lynn (Leslie) of Kingwood, TX along with her sister Alla Mae (Woody) Jensen, Merle (Linda) Bennett. She has five grandchildren; Clinton (Edie) Croft, Jeffrey Croft, Kimberly (Barton) Robison, Carly Croft, Katie (Benjamin) Ellis and four great grandchildren; Bailey Ann, Jorell, Abigail and Annalyn. A faithful wife, a devoted mother, a funny and caring grandmother, a compassionate sister and a cherished friend, Viola has left her mark in this life and now serving others in the next: "I shall give love to those in need; I'll show that love by word and deed: Thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed."
