Through her church service, community involvement, and caring ways, Vivian formed many lifelong friendships including one with her dear friend, Peggy Simmons, who passed before her.

The family would like to say special thanks to Vivian's loving caregivers for their exceptional care and kindness, along with the staff of Hospice of the Shenandoah.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request memorial contributions be made to either Calvary UMC, 2179 Stuarts Draft Hwy, Stuarts Draft VA 24477 or the CFF VA Chapter, 7202 Glen Forest Dr, Suite #102, Richmond, VA 23226.
