Vivian was born June 18, 1934, in Eufaula, Ok., then later moved to Weleeka, Ok. where she attended school. She was the daughter of Carl and Virgie Blankenship.
She spent most of her career working in the Auto Parts Industry, her biggest joy was to engage with her loyal customers that came just to see her. Later she owned and ran an Antique shop in Choctaw, OK. After retirement, Vivian spent most winters in South Texas
with her sister and brother-in-law, Arvella & Mack, taking her beloved 4-legged family members with her. The last several years were spent slowing down, enjoying time sitting on the porch watching geese, squirrels, birds, and her darling Hummingbirds. Vivian couldn’t wait every spring for “her” birds to lay & hatch chicks, watching them grow and finally fly the nest.
Vivian was a member of Charity Free Will Baptist Church in OKC, OK. She loved attending every service, she especially loved seeing every member to give or receive a hug, and maybe a piece of candy or two. After church, she looked forward to lunch at “The Catch” in Midwest City, where they knew what she wanted to order, even if she didn’t, she will be greatly missed by all.
Vivian is survived by her 2 daughters, Pam Stagner and Tammie Hall and her husband Tandell Hall of the home, along with her many cherished pets. Grandchildren, Carl and wife Penny, Velvet, Tanda and husband Shawn, Tyler, Alisha and husband Eric, Danielle, Tristan and husband Jason, James and wife Kristen, Codi and husband Tim.
Vivian was blessed with 24 amazing great grandchildren, 22 great-great grandchildren and a myriad of precious nieces, nephews and friends.
Vivian is proceeded in death by her parents, Carl and Virgie Blankenship, sisters Arvella McCoy and Carley Gray, daughter, Valarie Dvorak, son and daughter-in-law Rusty Roach and Patricia, and grandchildren Jeremy Dvorak and Berklee Maguire.

spiritual guidance.
