Violet was born in the town of Woodville on September 5, 1917, daughter of the late Alfred and Erna (Fierke) Retzlaff. Later that month, she was received as a child of God through Holy Baptism, also in Woodville, and those same baptismal vows were confirmed by her in 1928, also at St. John Ev. Lutheran Church in Woodville. She graduated from Kaukauna High School and attended technical college for one year. On May 15, 1941, Violet married Alfred Marzahl at Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church in Kaukauna. Together the couple raised five children. Violet was a longtime and faithful member of Trinity Ev. Lutheran Church and it's Women's Aid. For many years she was also a member of the American Legion Post #41 Auxiliary where she had served as president and treasurer, and was a member of the auxiliary Past Presidents' Parley. Many will remember that she also worked for Kaukauna's election committee for over thirty five years.
