Vivian attended Milton Moore elementary, and Central Middle and East High School where she graduated in 1980.

That did not end her quest for knowledge. Whenever possible, she took courses to advance her education. She also loved to read; her home was filled with many books.

Vivian loved to shop; not only that, but she knew how to find great bargains. Even on Craigslist, we would called her the "Craigslist Queen" because she would bargain with the sellers and always get a great deal. Vivian loved to gather with her siblings and buy things for her mom. Vivian always loved to work, and she had very good jobs, But out of all the jobs she held, taking care of the elderly was her favorite. Even after she was diagnosed with cancer, she still tried to care for her patients. She had a special affection for Mrs. Foley, whom she would travel to Arizona with. Vivian also received an invitation to attend Bill Clintons inagural ball.
