Vivian grew up in Kettering and graduated from Fairmont High School but most of her life she lived in Beavercreek with Charles. Vivian had worked at Travelers Insurance in her early years and worked for her father-in-law as bookkeeper at Superior Pattern where she could work from home. She returned to work at Miami Valley Hospital to help Sue with her tuition at the University of Dayton. Vivian enjoyed sports and was an avid University of Dayton Basketball fan going to the home games from 1969 – 2022. She also enjoyed music and dancing with Charles. They could light up a room with a Jitterbug or Polka dance. She enjoyed many years at the Milton Athletic Club meeting friends for dinner, listening to music and dancing.

Vivian was a loving wife, mother and dear friend to many. After Charles past she looked forward to visits from her grandchildren and great grandchildren which made her smile. She also looked forward to lunches with Debbie Baker and her friend Jeanette. We know she is dancing with Charles, family and friends and enjoying the wake up parties with the Eastern Dr. gang hosted by the Hickmans!

Mom I will love you always and promise to remember all the good times.
