Vivian met the love of her life Oscar in 1964 and they married 19 days later. Their marriage lasted 31 years until his passing in 1995. She has stated that her fondest memory was getting married and all the memories made with him through the years.
She said that her best memory of that union was the birth of their only child Ted. This made her family complete. It wasn't always easy being a wife and mother, but she considered it a blessing. Her happiest times in life was when she was spending time with her family and friends.
She always loved animals and had pets most of her life. Chickens, turkeys, rabbits and of course dogs and cats, but her favorite was always dogs.
Now she's spending time with her family and friends in Heaven.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8
