Viola was born August 21, 1921 to August and Magdalena (Koerner) Hauck at the family farm southeast of Menno. She was baptized on November 13, 1921 by Rev. Rittershaus at Saron Reformed Church and confirmed on June 28, 1936 by Rev. Bodeman. She attended Morning Star School through the 8th grade.
She married Melferd Maas on September 8, 1940 at Saron Reformed Church. They were blessed to spend over 61 years together. Her pride and joy were her two daughters, LuAnn and LaNae.

However, her greatest joy in life was spending time with her grandchildren and great granddaughter.

Her grandchildren; Brandon (Jessica) Michels; Justin Michels; Levi Hertz; Jeremy, Nathan, Matthew, and Kristin Fischer; step-grandchildren Tyler and Adam Dather; great granddaughter Gracie Michels.
