Viola Kelly Archibeque's Obituary
1955 - 2018\r\nViola Maxine Kelly Archibeque "Lala" passed away peacefully in a hospital surrounded by loved ones on August 15, 2018 to join her beloved husband Robert Farnsworth "Rocky" and her sisters Bernie and Bonnie Kelly. She was born August 19, 1955 in Salt Lake City to Lily Miera and Frank Tony Kelly. Lala was a strong- willed woman with an entrepreneurial spirit, who owned her own business, "All About Clean". Her greatest joys came from conversing with her family and friends about their lives, singing along to Motown, and making others laugh. She loved coaching baseball in her younger days. She kept everyone connected through her football boards. She was proud of the accomplishments of her daughter Tiffani, and three beautiful grandchildren. She will be remembered for her outgoing personality, ability to poke fun at everyday life, and for being a shoulder to lean on. She was the "OG V", and she let the world know it with her one-of-a-kind extroverted personality. She will be dearly missed by her family, many close friends, and her dearest cat Midnight. She is survived by her daughter Tiffani (Ramon) Archibeque; 4 brothers, Tony, Toby (Bobby), Mike (Crystal), and Tom Kelly; 1 sister, Anna (Lisa and Tess, her special daughter), Kelly; 3 grandchildren, Samantha Deherrera, Sabrielle Chacon, and Destiny Tapia. And her special girls you know who you are; and caregivers! Thanks you for always watching over her. \r\n\r\nA Funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:00 a.m. Saturday August 25, 2018 at Saint Patrick Catholic Church, 1040 West 400 South, Salt Lake City.
