Violet H. (Kopischke) was born on May 4, 1918 in Janesville, MN to Julius and Elizabeth (Wolfgram) Kopischke. She attended and graduated from Janesville High School in 1936. On October 10, 1937, she was united in marriage to Clinton Caya in Waseca, MN. To this union, three children were born. The family moved to Richmond, CA for a time, but then moved back to Albert Lea, a place they always called home.
Vi was a faithful member of Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Albert Lea. She was a part of Ladies Aid as well as the Serving Circle. She was deeply rooted in her Christian faith. In her free time, she enjoyed knitting and quilting. She always had fresh baked cookies for her guests. Vi loved to watch and listened to the Minnesota Twins. She can be described as a loving, sweet, caring lady.
She is survived by her grandchildren, Tony (Kaylee) Caya, Sheila Collingwood, Chris (Kori) Caya, Greg (Kristi) Caya, Richard (Marilyn) Caya, Michael (Vima) Caya, Dawn Caya, and Steven (Ellannee) Rajewsky; 16 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; as well as many other loving family and friends.
