Cause of death; cancer. Her beauty, strength and intelligence live on in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
It was said that Hester Viola was not fond of her name and adopted the nick name of "Ola", which is on several legal documents.
On the day that Viola died, she was in very ill from the cancer killing her. Aunt Audrey, Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Annie Hanson-Smith were out on the front porch waiting for the final end, when they saw a cute little lamb sort of floating outside. It turned around and hopped over a semi- transparent fence and disappeared They knew that it was Viola's spirit saying good- bye.
This same event was witnessed by three people. Although this was a farming community in Tennessee there were no known sheep or lambs in the area.
