Vivian was born on the 4th of January 1925, to Andrew Christopher Kinnie and Harriette Rosa Vincent in Pana, Illinois.

She accomplished many things in life, some of which include manufacturing bullets during WWII, nurturing infants at the hospital, transporting IBM employees, quilting and donating blankets to orphans, and serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in North Carolina. Vivian lived in many states throughout the US and lived an abundant life. She will be greatly missed by her loved ones.
