Violet M. Perez, 90, of Kennett Square, died peacefully Sept. 22, at Ware Presbyterian surrounded by her family. She was born June 1, 1929, in Smyrna, Del., the daughter of the late George and Thelma Warrington. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Quino Perez-Alonzo to whom she was faithfully dedicated.
Violet, alongside her husband, owned and operated Perez Garage for over 47 years. They were recognized as being the first Hispanic business owners in their hometown of Kennett Square.
She enjoyed many things such as country line dancing with close family and friends, playing cards with anyone that was interested and listening to Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline and Alan Jackson to name a few.

Those who knew Violet will remember her as a kind, outgoing and feisty woman who made friends wherever she went. There were very few places where people didn’t know her. She had a gift of making everyone feel like family.
