Vivian Elaine Hart

Vivian Elaine Knight was born in Richmond, New Hampshire on May 7, 1933 to parents Hazel and Ralph Knight. She was an exceptional student throughout school, pushed ahead 2 grades, and graduating from Keene High School at the age of 16. She was also married at 17, and had her first child at 19. Vivian, along with her husband Marshall, moved their family to Florida in 1969. She worked as an office manager for Viking Anchor Products, and a medical supply company for many years.

Vivian was predeceased by her husband of 73 years, Marshall Hart, and 2 sons, Thomas Hart (1997), and Ronald Hart (2014), and by her brother Roland. Vivian is survived by 2 children Sandra Frint, and Michael Hart, 7 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, and her sister Thelma.

Vivian and her husband spent the first couple years of retirement traveling around the country in a motor home, then settled down again in West Palm to care for their son Thomas, who was in the later stages of diabetes. Vivian was the matriarch of the Hart family for many years always organizing family get togethers and keeping tabs on everyone. Her traditional Christmas Eve family get togethers produced many great memories for us.

She will be greatly missed.
