Commemorating an Amazing Woman ... Viola was born on September 23, 1924 in Annapolis, Missouri. She is the daughter of the late Perry and Eva Allen. Viola graced this world for over 93 years. She left us to be joined with her God and savior on Sunday morning, March 18, 2018. Her life on this earth was exemplary. She was truly the beloved matriarch. In the spring of 1951 she met and later married Robert G. Bramble on September 1, 1951 in Champaign, Illinois. They celebrated over 63 years of marriage prior to his passing in 2015. Their adventures and travels are too many to list. They traveled the countryside, resided in Hawaii, Utah, Montana, California, and Texas ... And more. Together they raised a daughter, served as military reunion planners for over 17 years and were faithful members of the Dorcus Wills Memorial Baptist Church of Trinity, Texas. Viola is preceded in death by her husband of over 63 years, Robert G. Bramble; 2 sisters, Eula Strange and Beula Burks, and 5 brothers, Otis Allen, Edgar Allen, Everett Allen, Howard Allen and Harold Allen. Viola is survived by her daughter, Deborah Ann Bramble-Clemons and son-n-law Danny R. Clemons of Yantis, Texas and numerous nieces and nephews. She will always be cherished in our hearts. Viola Bramble lived her life with dignity and grace. She exemplified what it meant to be a Christian woman with never a harsh word. Her patience abounded and “secrets” kept for a lifetime. She was ever mindful of others and the room was brightened by her presence. She was an accomplished seamstress, a wonderful cook, a magnificent housekeeper, a sister, aunt, best friend, wife and mother. She was truly the beloved matriarch.
