Vivian was devoted to her mother who was in poor health for many, many years and took loving care of her until she died in July 1995. 

Edgar retired in January 1992 and they moved to Lake Wildwood (Penn Valley), located in northern California and just 90 minutes from Reno.  Vivian began to live the life she had always dreamed of.  Edgar is an avid golfer and Vivian tried her hand at it and became very proficient, winning several awards and even beating Edgar on occasion.  She joined the Ladies Golf Club and became the Team Captain.  She very much enjoyed the social life that golf and retirement provided.  She said these were the happiest days of her life.

Vivian was diagnosed with cancer in 2002 and died on December 2 of that year.

Vivian’s friends and family miss her immensely but are grateful for the opportunity to have known and loved her.  She was the dearest friend, wife and mother.
