The Bakersfield Californian 
Renfro, Viola Lucille     
1959 - 2005 
 
Viola Lucille Renfro 
A Borrowed Angel 

Services will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. at Greenlawn 
Southwest Memorial Chapel, 2739 Panama Lane and Hwy. 99, for Viola Lucille 
Renfro, 67. Pastor Edward Choat will officiate. Mom was raised in Delano, CA. 
She met her husband through her younger sister (Thank you, Aunt Toot). They 
married on February 25, 1959, and resided in Bakersfield. They had a devoted 
marriage of 35 years. Mom worked as a waitress during her younger years. At 
age 36, mom and dad had a little too much fun one night and became parents all 
over again. Mom gave up waitressing and became a homemaker. Mom attended 
Sonrise Church of God. She was very devoted to her faith. Mom was diagnosed 
with cancer in 2002. She stood strong and faced it, saying it is in the Lords 
hands. Through her own battle she never stopped giving a lending hand, a 
shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. God put mom on this earth for many 
reasons. His sole purpose was to prove there really are angels on this earth. 
That she was an angel. The Lord decided it was time. Through the years of 
giving, loving, helping devotion and accepting. The Lord felt she had earned 
her wings and she could no longer be borrowed. On November 3, 2005, the Lord 
took her home. Now that she has earned her wings she can soar through Heaven, 
look down, and watch over us. For now she is our Guardian Angel. Viola is 
survived by her daughters, Cindie Van Horn of Hawaii and Cassandra Amick and 
husband, Steven of Bakersfield; grandsons, Robert Van Horn, Steven Amick Jr. 
and Corey Sutton; great-granddaughter, Raya Harmony; great-grandson, Braden 
Alexander; brother, Pete Brown; sisters and brothers-in-law, Dorothy and Jimmy 
Corpuz and Fay and John Musto; numerous nieces and nephews and extended 
family, Randy and Brenda Van Horn. She was preceded in death by her husband, 
Harold; son-in-law Jimmy; parents, Raymond and Hazel Brown and two infant 
sons. Special thanks to Dr. M., his nurse, June, all the staff at CBCC, 
Hoffman Hospice, Reese Equipment and most of all Moms at home caregiver, Uncle 
Pete. Visitation begins Monday, 3:00 - 9:00 p.m.
