Vivian was a strong and independent woman who overcame many health obstacles in the past five years. She took pride in being a loving wife and mother, taking the time to listen, play, and laugh with her family. She also enjoyed music, dancing and singing with friends and family. She cherished memories of roller skating and other good times with her siblings, cousins, and then with her children. She believes family is a gift from God and we should be thankful to God. Vivian loved and appreciated those who serve at St. Mary’s Church, who supported her throughout her illness.
