Viola M Lamprey

Viola May Lamprey went to be with the Lord on May 15, 2021 after passing away at the Dover Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Dover NH.

Viola was born on June 12, 1925 in Waynesboro PA to the late Henry Yeager and the late Laura Yeager ( Morganthall ) and was predeceased by two brothers, Donald and Paul Yeager.

One of Violas favorite stories was that day the day she was born, the doctor who was called to the house told the family that she probably won't survive the night and that he would make out the death certificate and sign it when she passed in the morning. Viola proved the doctor wrong and lived to 95 years of age.

Viola graduated from Church Home and Hospital in Baltimore MD. in September of 1946 earning her degree in Nursing. She continued working at various facilities for over 50 years.

While she was in Maryland she met Ronald Lamprey and they married soon after.

Viola and Ronald moved to Amesbury Ma where they raised 7 children. They were both active in the Market Street Baptist Church in Amesbury for many, many years.

Viola liked to be active and traveled to many of the National Parks and went to many of the Morganthall Family reunions in Maryland

One of Violas passions was that she made Afghans for each of her children and most of her grandchildren and many of her great grandchildren. She also made many hand made dolls. Viola loved to grow African Violets.

After moving to Hampton NH, she became active in The First Baptist Church of Hampton and ran the Food Pantry there for many years. She later moved to Seabrook NH where she resided for many years.

Viola was predeceased by her husband Ronald who passed in 1977. She was also predeceased by her beloved granddaughter Lauren Eaton in 2021.
