She gave her children many wonderful years and happy memories of country living, that they will always treasure. After Eugene passed away in 1984 Vivien met William (Bill) Johnston. They married and enjoyed their Retirement years in Kincardin and then in Dunnville where family from both sides enjoyed spending time with them.

She looked forward to the many visits through the years and spending the holidays at each of their homes. Christmas at Kevin and Cindy's or Wayne and Shari's. Easter at Debbie and Allen's or Glen and Freda's and she loved taking Thanksgiving trips up north with Martin and Shannon.

Vivien spent her final 7 years living on a farm in Port Colborne with her daughter Corey and son-in-law Joe. Once again she was back breathing in the fresh country air but this time it was spent reminiscing about her life and days gone by. We were fortunate enough to be given the time to give our mom many hugs and kisses and to say our goodbyes. She told us "it was time for her to go and that she was ready" She told us that "she had a good life and She loved us all. " She wanted us to promise that we'd enjoy our lives and promise that we would not be sad when she's gone. It's going to be difficult to keep that second promise. Our mom will always be remembered for her loving support, her sweet, gentle smile and kind heart. Her delicious home made soups and the best apple pie around. She said she'll come back to visit as a Swallowtail. We look forward to summer and await her arrival. Friends will be received at the Donald V.
