Vivian was preceded in death by her first husband, Cleo Norman, of Sedalia, MO, and second husband, “Gene” Daniels, of Independence, KS. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Linda Laine, and her great-grandson, Ethan Kunze Goetsch.
Vivian was born at home in June of 1930, in St. Louis County, MO. She moved to Knob Noster, MO as a young teenager. Her father wanted to farm. She graduated in 1947 from Knob Noster High School.

She was the first principal of Whiteman Air Force Base Elementary School. In 1961 she moved to the Long Beach, CA area and taught there until retiring in 1990. After retiring, she taught oil painting classes to the elderly. Her joy was visiting elderly shut-ins every day of the week.
She enjoyed painting, traveling, crocheting, knitting and reading.
