Violet Rosella Granberg (nee Marshall)

November 18th, 1929 – September 1st, 2025

Violet Rosella Granberg, 95, passed away peacefully in Shellbrook on September 1st, 2025. Born in Polwarth Saskatchewan, Violet was the first daughter of Sydney and Ethel Marshall, and the eldest of 4. Violet truly cared for her beloved siblings -Bud (Roland) Marshall, Marlene Coates (nee Marshall), and Melrose Marshall.

Polwarth was always home for Violet, and this is where she met and married the love of her life, Sten Granberg – to whom she was married to for 76 years. Violet worked tirelessly on the farm: curating multiple gardens and a beautifully manicured yard.

Within the tightknit community of Polwarth and Canwood is not only where Violet grew up and raised her family, but where she grew to love dancing, her animals, curling, skidooing, camping, royal purple, and choir. She loved to be around friends and family (friends who really were her  “other family”) and a good party!

Violet, above all, loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were the light of her life, and they never questioned her love.

Violet is survived by her loving husband Sten; sister Marlene; sister-in-law Dianne; children Kenneth Granberg (Ardis), Linda Larose (Gerald), and Gary Granberg (Wanda); 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents Syd and Ethel Marshall; brother Bud Marshall; sister Melrose; parents-in-law Olov and Paulina Granberg.

Violet was known for her love of family and was happiest surrounded by those she loved. She will be missed dearly as we celebrate the countless and wonderful memories that she was a part of. Violet loved flowers and we would love to see yours if you have any to share, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to Debden Heritage Manor (Box 608 Debden, SK S0J 0S0) or Whispering Pines Place (Box 418 Canwood, SK S0J 0K0).
