Viola was a people person.  She had a 29 year banking career working as a teller in local banks, on of which was Schertz Bank and Trust.  She was a favorite teller for many of the older local Schertz Bank customers because she could speak German with them.  She retired from Schertz Bank and Trust after serving 19 years there.
