Vivian Elizabeth Neely

Vivian was born May 05, 1954 in Vancouver British Columbia, she is survived by her husband Ralph Walter, daughter Christine (Bill), granddaughters Gail and Frances, great grandson Gambler, and her two sisters Jennifer and Margory Neely.

Vivian was a bubbly, vivacious child. She loved animals, especially horses. Throughout her life she almost always had at least one cat. Viv always had a sketch book and loved to draw, mostly drawing animals and even creating cartoons. She continued with her passion in drawing and in 2008 even wrote a short sci-fi story called Nuome.

Despite where she lived, whether it was Mission, West Vancouver, or Ontario, Vivian was always outgoing, kind, and made friends wherever she went.

In the 80’s she moved back to her hometown of Mission, where she met her third husband and the love of her life Ralph Walter. They bought a house and settled down to a quiet life. She loved her house, garden, and made friends with most of their neighbours, while also opening their home and hearts to a myriad of pets.

Viv loved to keep in touch with her daughter and granddaughter over the phone. She was overjoyed at the birth of her great grandson. She was planning a trip to see them when her life was tragically cut short.

She will be sorely missed. Vivian we love you.
