Vivian had a very strong work ethic, and refused to stop working even in the latter months of her life. Her work in the construction industry started over 20 years ago with Jack Dowdy. Since that time the Dowdy's became part of her extended family. She worked tirelessly and saw the many ups and downs that business brings. Through everything, her tenacity and hard work always made an Impression on those around her.

In her free time, Vivian always loved games of chance. Whether it was at a bingo hall on Wednesday night or a trip to the casino on the weekend she loved hitting those jackpots!

Vivian's impact on all of her friends and family will live on in our hearts forever. Her love of her family and friends was always on display in everything she did.
