Poon, Vivian 75 July 25, 1941 Aug. 16, 2016 Vivian Wai Wan Poon died peacefully in her sleep in her Portland home on Aug. 16, 2016 at the age of 75. Born in Hong Kong, Vivian was the third of eight children born to Allen and Pauline Poon.

Vivian was an active member in all of the churches she attended, calling Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church her home church over the past 20 years.

She is survived by two brothers, David and Robert; three sisters Irene, Grace, and Ruby; her sons; and four grandchildren, Shelby, Theodora, Teresa and Nathaniel.
