Age 92, a daughter of the late Dominick and Assunta Iaboni Ferrante. She made every holiday special for her children and grandchildren, as the table was filled with ethnic Italian foods, and homemade cookies, as the atmosphere around the kitchen table filled with love. Violet was always there in an emergency, as she had no choice but to deliver her third grandson Michael in her home. She had worked at Erie Resistor, Marx Toy Company, Bliley Electric and had worked on her grape farm for many years.

She was preceded in death by two daughters, Katherine L. Fetzner and Susan V. Coletta; one brother, Armand Ferrante; and two sisters, Angeline Felice and her twin sister, Filomena Stitt.

She is survived by her husband Phillip of 68 years; one daughter, Jeannie M. DeLaura (Robert) of Erie, Pa.; one son, Vincent P. Coletta (Audrey) of North East, Pa.; two brothers, Alphonse and Gulio Ferrante, both of Erie; and one sister, Mary Iaboni, of Erie; son-in-law, Richard Fetzner, of Erie; nine grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren.
