I have known Vivian for many years, through our church association, and enjoyed many opportunities to help and serve her. She was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold. Linda Swenson Ruby I loved Vivian. I will miss her very much. I am very sorry for your loss. Lewis Groberg lewgroberg@hotmail.com Myself and Ralph Hale were Vivian’s home teachers for perhaps five years. It was a pleasure. We enjoyed her enthusiasm for life and the love of her son Jeff. We had many fond memories of visiting in Idaho Falls, Ucon, and off Lincoln Road. We kept visiting her when she moved to Rigby and also to the Ammon area. It was always a special experience to teach her a gospel principle. She was a very teachable woman. Sincerely, Lewis Groberg Vivian was a good friend. I will miss her. Hilary Kimbro I got to know Vivian at Dr Wingerson's office. She was always a happy face in the office and made Dr. Wingerson laugh. On one occasion when at the office she asked why her stomach hurt and the doctor told her that she was F.O.S. (full of stuff) and she thought that was hilarious. We will miss Vivian- Leslie Alice Kaye Guyer I have known and worked with Vivian since 1993 . . . what can I say . . she was such a special individual. She had endured so many trials in her life. She was able to overcome her many disabilities and was able to put aside "normal resentments" and reach out and be a loving and caring individual.. You are a special person Vivian..I will miss you.
