Puccinelli, Violet Mae

Graveside services will be held Friday, April 7, at Napa Memorial Park 
Cemetery, 2383 Napa Vallejo Hwy., Napa, CA, at 2:00 p.m. for Violet 
Puccinelli, a longtime resident of Bakersfield and owner of Vi's Cocktail 
Lounge on Rosedale Highway. It was Violet's fervent wish that she be 
buried next to her mother who preceded her in death. Born in Hinton, 
Oklahoma July 8, 1925 to John and Gertrude Overstreet, Violet passed away 
at Beverly Manor Convalescent Hospital on Thursday, March 30, 2006 after 
suffering a stroke in late November of 2005. Violet owned and managed Vi's 
Cocktail Lounge on Rosedale Highway for over 40 years, celebrating her 
40th year anniversary in 2001 with patrons, friends, and family. Called an 
icon by one of her customers, Violet asked, "What does an icon mean? I'm 
not a saint!" It was explained that she was a person of uncritical 
devotion! Violet is survived by her sisters; Betty Hagler of Napa and 
Peggy Brown of Connecticut; her daughter, Patricia Mevi of San Francisco 
and her two grandchildren; Ashley Mevi, a student at Columbia University 
in New York and Ethan Mevi, a computer specialist in San Francisco. Over 
the years Violet enjoyed her trips. Having traveled with her sisters to 
Arubu, Hawaii, and New York; and shorter excursions with her daughter and 
grandchildren. She appreciated fine dining, exquisite jewelry, and the 
latest fashions. Beautiful Violet, you will be missed by all you left 
behind. Violet Mae Puccinelli July 8, 1925 - March 30, 2006 Basham Funeral 
Care
