My husband and I just learned about the passing of Vivienne. We send our deepest condolences to the whole family.
We met Vivienne in front of her house, 267 S. 9th Street, in 2005, while gazing at the house across the street, 264 S. 9th Street. We had just purchased it and Vivienne passed us and commented that is a very nice house, it is for sale!. We turned around, started a conversation and that was the beginning of a close relationship between Vivienne and our family. While renovating our house, we lived for two years in Viviennes top apartment. Our first child was born in that period. In 2013 we moved to NYC and sold our house 2 years later. Vivienne forms an important part of our Philly period, we can not think of Philly without thinking of Vivienne; my husband and I and our 3 children cherish the many fond memories we have of Vivienne...
We wish the family all the strength, love and support. The Bhatia family

Fond memories of our 2 years at 267 South 9th St in 1990-1992, whilst living in Philadelphia from NZ. Was lucky to see you about 10 years with our children. A lovely, bubbly, welcoming woman. Regards. Lucy & Stephen Best

Vivienne was our lovely landlady in 1990-1992 in Philadelphia, while living there for 2 years from New Zealand. For some reason today I thought of her, googled her name, and saw she has recently died. What a lovely, so attractive, bubbly woman she was. We will remember her fondly, and visited her about 10 years ago when we were showing our children where we had lived. Fond memories. X

I am so sorry to hear of Vivienne's departure. We worked together on both neighborhood and parish projects. At theWash West community and at Old S. Joseph's Church she provided dedicated and insightful leadership. Rest In Peace, V.

I send my condolences to you upon the death of your wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, whom I knew during my and your father's time at Lafayette College when Vivienne attended college and fraternity events, lending them an element of distinction by her dignity and sociability. It was a pleasure knowing Vivienne. I will be making a gift to the Gesu School to which I know she was devoted.
