San Antonio - June 22, 2007 Violet was born on June 7, 1920 in Huntington, West Virginia. She is survived by her husband of 28 years, Lawrence Flume, her sons Bruce and Nelson Sigoloff, grandchildren Eric, Sam, Bryan and Sarah, her sister Alma Daigle and brother, Billy Bruce. Her parents Rachel and Rufus Ortho Bruce, her previous husband Sam Sigoloff and two of her brothers, Paul and Lawrence Bruce predeceased her. Violet established, owned and operated the prestigious Sigoloff Fine Art Gallery and Sigoloff Frame and Art since1965. When Sam Sigoloff died in 1977, she gave the Sigoloff Frame and Art business to her oldest son Bruce. In 1991, Violet closed the Sigoloff Fine Art Gallery after 30 years of operation in order to devote all of her attention to her ailing mother. Art was not only a business for Violet; it was a way of life. She was an accomplished artist and was named Outstanding Artist of the Year by the San Antonio Express in 1967. She had many one-man shows though out South Central Texas and was recognized in numerous books including the Whos Who Of American Women and the Whos Who in American Art. She was a writer and authored the biography of the famous British-American artist Robert Wood, The Last Mountain, The Life of Robert Wood. The only area of her life that shone intensely brighter than her art and business acumen was Violet the wife, mother, and grandmother. She was deeply loved by her husband Larry and she was always there for her children and grandchildren and earned their lifelong love and respect. A great family tradition named family night was observed for 35 years where once a week, Bruce and Nelsons family sometimes with friends or extended family would get together and visit, eat and just enjoy the company of a close and loving family. Violet deeply missed and often spoke of the day when she will have a great heavenly reunion with her father, mother, and two of her brothers. That day has come for Violet, but there is a void in the heart of those left behind that will not be filled until we too meet once again for our best ever and eternal family night. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you send a donation to the charity of your choice. SERVICES Visitation will be from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm Monday, June 25, 2007 at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North. Funeral services will be at 10:00 am Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at Concordia Lutheran Church with interment to follow in Mission Burial Park North.
