The Inland Empire woman just celebrated her 106th birthday - or "106 and counting" as she noted in a T-shirt at the party.
Family members were there for a party at the care facility where she lives in Yucaipa.
"She is the funniest person I know," said one of her relatives. "She still to this day remembers jokes."
Her nieces say that Violet also loves bingo, gambling and going to Las Vegas.
