Violet Clyde Allison

Friday, Aug. 29, 2025

Violet Clyde Allison, who was born in Derry, Northern Ireland on August 31, 1940, passed away as her heart had had enough.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Harold Mayo. Beloved and adored mother to Gina and caregiver, loving mother of Allison, Troy, Vanessa, sons-in-law MacArthur Davis and Albert Wilking, grandchildren Eden, Fletcher and Ashlynne.

Violet Clyde had a remarkable life from her time in the homeland to her time in Birmingham, England and her time in Utah, her second home. The Duchess, as she was known by many, was a stately lady, not to mention a fighter through and through with her health.

Violet Clyde shared a one-of-a-kind bond with her beloved daughter and caregiver Gina. A rare and beautiful bond rooted in love, laughter and a little mischief. Gina’s care and playful spirit kept the Duchess young at heart until the very end.

A Requiem Mass  was celebrated on August 18, 2025 at the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Committal followed at Mount Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Starks Funeral Parlor.  Share your photos and memories with her family at www.starksfuneral.com

In lieu of flowers, Venmo donations would be greatly appreciated for the funeral expenses @Gina-GMonkey.
