She will be lovingly remembered by her step-son Vaughn (Kristina) and step-daughters Linda (John) and Paula (Yves), and her 7 step-grandchildren James, Brandylyn, Amandalyn, Alexander, Dean, Tyler and Tara.

Vivian spent the last 27 years of her life in Newmarket and previously lived in Calgary. She will be fondly remembered for her outgoing personality and sense of humour. Vivian was very active during her life, attending various classes such as yoga, Pilates and Zumba. She was an avid reader and head of a book club in Newmarket. Vivian loved her walks in the neighborhood and often stopped to chat with the neighbours she met along the way. She also loved to attend the various events held at the Seniors’ Centre to socialize and dance.

Vivian was full of life and energy and loved to talk, and even when she could no longer use her voice, she went through dozens of pens and notebooks to communicate with her friends and family. She was never at a loss for words. She kept her positivity and laughter to the very end and she will be fondly missed.
