Violet Lucille Gudgel, age 77, wife of the late Charles E. Gudgel, of Commiskey, IN, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday morning, February 2, 2024.
Violet was born in Seymour, IN on February 1, 1947, to the late Maynard Peacock and Estella (Derringer) Peacock. On January 8, 1963, she married the love of her life, Charles Gudgel, who precedes her in death. Over the years, Violet worked at the Excel Shirt Factory as well as at Cummins. But her favorite and most important job was the one she took most seriously, as a mother and home maker. She had always enjoyed gardening, fishing, camping, and dancing to fun country music and country westerns. She loved flowers and her hummingbirds that she always fed at her home. But mostly, she loved her family. It was truly her life’s work to make sure they were well taken care of and felt loved by her. She will be sorely missed by them all.
