Viola had one sister, Patricia Greek and one brother, J.O. Greek, both passing on earlier. She married Navy Lt. John Byron Slocum of La Puente, CA on September 22, 1944 in Jacksonville, FL. Viola and John lived in Southern Californa (15 years), Casa Grande, Arizona (2 years), Davis, CA (2-1/2 years) and Fresno, CA (38 years), before moving to Chico in 2002. John passed away Feb. 27, 2006. Viola will be forever remembered by her daughter, Lynda Boxberger of Cottage Grove, OR and two sons, Robley Slocum (Kim Butterworth) of San Ramon, CA and Keith Slocum (Susan Slocum) of Chico. Viola will be fondly remembered by her five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
