Vivian's devotion to family and friends, and her razor sharp sense of humor, were a delightful gift to all and her love of life and fun were contagious. She had a great appreciation for beauty and a remarkable ability to bring it into the lives of others. Vivian could literally bring a smile to anyone's face and was a joy to all who were blessed to call her friend.
Honorary pallbearers are Edwin Kittrell, Scott Kittrell, John Breedlove and Denning Key of Tyler, John Peddie of Houston, John Cunliffe of Waxahachie, Paul Scott Kittrell of Denver, Colo., Russell Badgett of Savannah, Ga., and William Manley of Dallas.
