She took time to raise her three children, a role she dearly cherished and later went to work for Premix, where she worked for 17 years, and enjoyed the relationship of her many colleagues, several of which became lifelong friends. She loved to travel, and the family will cherish the many nights camping together as a family. Vivian loved to crochet and bake cookies. She also enjoyed playing the piano and organ.
