Vivian moved to Whidbey Island shortly after she was first married to Jesse D. Rosenbaum. She met and married Lloyd in 1974 and they lived together and shared many good times for 36 years. She was a loving, selfless wife and mother and will be greatly missed. She enjoyed cooking and was considered an expert by all who knew her. In addition, she enjoyed crocheting and sewing. She was an excellent fisher lady and sat with Lloyd many hours on the banks of several lakes in Eastern Washington. She also loved to travel and had spent the last four years, wintering in Arizona.
