Vivian had an amazing and adventuresome life. She spent most of her younger years in Seminole and Midland, and has lived in London, England, Singapore and Texas (her most favorite place in the world). She traveled the world to exotic lands such as Nepal (her favorite), Beirut, Taiwan, Egypt, India, UK, Europe, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and all 50 states.

She and Bill tried everything life had to offer. They spent years traveling by motorcoach, motorcycles, horseback, bikes, tractors, trains and planes. Vivian rode camels in Cairo and elephants in Nepal and enjoyed living the country life in Cameron and Gause. She was excited to immerse herself in every adventure. Her final destination was Sun City in Georgetown, where she met so many wonderful friends and enjoyed woodworking, country western dancing, golf cart parades, wine tasting, and meeting up with her friends at Mulligans.

She also leaves behind her dear friend, Will Clark, her faithful companion who kept her schedule full for several years.
