Vivian Ruth Reppert

She married her first husband, Joseph Hurd and had one son, Gary. After they divorced she met and married her second husband, Floyd Reppert in 1946. They settled in Tacoma and together they had three children, Richard, Jackie and Tana. At the time of Floyd’s death, they had been married for 55 years.

Vivian is survived by her four children; Gary Joseph Hurd (Helen) of Hudson, FL, Richard Allen Reppert (Lydia) of Sonoma, CA, Jacquelyn Dianne Blackwood (Jeffrey) of Arnold, MO and Tana Marian Belcher (Jon) of Marysville, WA. Eight grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren also survive her. The 10th great-grandchild is due to arrive in mid June. One brother, Vincent Rawlins (Helen) of Ephrata, WA and numerous nieces and nephews who all loved “Aunt Vivian’s” pies, also survive her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd, brother Marion and one grandson, Gary Joseph Hurd, Jr.

She dearly loved her family. She especially enjoyed gatherings with extended family at Thanksgiving, Christmas and picnics at Point Defiance Park on the 4th of July. She always had fresh baked cookies waiting for the grandchildren when they arrived for visits.

23rd Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
