Violet Leipert (Siewert) passed away at the age of 92. She was the eleventh child born to Rudolf and Bertha Siewert on October 19, 1929 on her parent’s farm at Mendham, Saskatchewan. She received most of her education at a country school called Hollymount and later attended Mendham High School. She was faithful going to church every Sunday, with her parents and other members of her family, to Mendham Evangelical Zion Church. At the age of 16 in 1946, while attending a revival meeting in Leader, she gave her heart and life to the Lord.

In 2011, they retired to Leader; she continued with gardening and kept up a big yard. She enjoyed going to have coffee about 4 times a week with her lady friends. She continued to be active in the Leader Alliance Church and it was a significant part of her life.
