They were the parents of one daughter, Cynthia.

Vivienne was a member of the Methodist Church of Harrison, and a member of Nebraska Cattlewomen and American National Cowbells.

She is survived by her daughter, Cynthia, and two granddaughters, Amanda and Jennifer all of Harrison, and by her sister, Maxine Fisher, of Ft. Laramie.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother, two sisters, and three step-sisters.
