Vivian enjoyed crocheting blankets for others and making cakes. She enjoyed doing different craft projects when she could. Vivian would get excited about going to the Casinos to play the slot machines and camp in the RV parks at the Casinos with her friends. She loved spending time with her family camping and just hanging out together.
Vivian was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2015 and received extensive treatment for the cancer. After being told her cancer was in remission she worked hard to improve her health by working out at the gym every day for 2 hours and changed her eating. She was so proud of her outcome. In 2017 she was informed her cancer had metastasized into her spine. From there her cancer just progressed even with treatment. Vivian fought hard and long trying to stay healthy and happy but the cancer continued to spread throughout her body. She was a very strong person and did not give up but the cancer took her away from her family. She was not a person that would give up easily.
