She was born April 4, 1927, the daughter of Ruth Mae Davis Brown and Ross Albert Franklin Brown. She grew up with her parents and two sisters in the small town of Arion, Iowa. Violet worked as a school teacher. She married W. Dean Miers in the late 1940’s. They lived in Mount Vernon, Iowa and had two sons, Danny and Randy. Later, Violet moved to Jefferson and worked as a telephone operator and also worked at the Jefferson schools. Time passed and Violet met and married Bernard “Bernie” Vaughn. Fond family remembrances of Violet include always being met at the door with the biggest smile. Her home often had the pleasant aroma of freshly made glazed donuts or peanut butter cookies, and brewed coffee. Also remembered are the old assortment of toys for grandkids to play with in her living room, and the collection of cat trinkets, even though Violet never had a house cat. Many times, Violet approached her grandkids in the school lunch line and gave them a little extra money for buying sundaes or cinnamon rolls. She was always interested in what the family had been doing. Violet resided at Carlisle Care Center at the time of her passing on November 30, 2020. At her death, she was survived by two sons: Dan (Mary) Miers of Carlisle, IA and Randy (Anne) Miers of Rochester, MN; stepson, Gary (Paula) Vaughn of Boone, IA and two step-daughters: Karen Jahn of Longmont, CO and Debra Geisler of Ankeny, IA; 17 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; two sisters: Audrey (Merrill ) Larsh of Las Vegas, NV; and Alyce (Clyde) Lane of Lake View, IA; other relatives and friends.
