Together, they had five children. During the years she raised the children, as soon as she put the house in order, she would always find a church to attend. She married her beloved husband Chester “Tom” Hughson on February 1, 1964 in Scio after being set up on a blind date by family members.

The two of them loved camping and travelling together as well as spending time on the Oregon Coast. Viola worked as a Seamstress at Albany General Hospital and continued in the department for 18 and a half years. Viola was a member of Willamette Community Church for many years as well as the Model A Club.
