A ray of sunshine, Vivian always kept a smile on her face; nothing could keep her still. She loved sitting outside of “the apartment” and basking in the sunlight. She had no problem with passing out orders to get things done and moved where she wanted them, when she wanted it.
Mom, Aunt Vivian, grandmother, and friend were just a few names she went by. She will truly be missed by those who uttered those names or share fond memories of her.
