I met Vivian and her friend, LuAnn Hurst, when they were volunteers at the Peoria Public Library and the Lakeview Museum book sales. Vivian was always so lovely and willing to do anything to help while volunteering. She had a lovely smile and a delightful laugh. What an asset she was to any group. I was so sorry to read of her passing and will remember your family in my thoughts and prayers.
