Vivian was my Aunt. She was my Daddy's oldest sister, and she was an inspiration to me and everyone who knew her. I will miss her so very much. She was such a "Grand Lady" and had a smile and a kind word for every one.
She always seemed to fine the good in any situation, no matter what. I love you Vivian, you left a huge void in my life.

So sorry to hear about Ms. Warner's passing. She was my 3rd grade teacher at Temple Elem.(Diboll) in 1971. She was a great teacher, person and friend, I would go visit her in the nursing home in Lufkin. She was always a delight, I loved visiting her. I will forever hold her sweet memory in my heart. She was truly a Blessing in my life and I loved her dearly.

Vivian Warner was my aunt by marriage to her nephew Bill Warner. She was a very lovely, intelligent and delightful person to be around. According to her, "all her days were good days," She loved reading and doing crossword puzzles. Bill and Geriann Warner will miss seeing and sharing family stories and gardening secrets.
