Fair Lawn Democratic county committeewoman Violet "Vi" Etler died on Jan. 8 at the age of 83
During her life, Democratic politcal maven Vi Etler's kindness and wisdom made an impression on all those she encountered.

The park -- bounded by Elliott Terrace and Eberlin Drive -- is within walking distance of the home Etler shared with her husband, Marty.

Another example of politicians taking care of themselves. How about naming the park for a hero or someone who gave to the entire community not just a political party. more ›
