I remember seeing Aunt Vivian during my visits with my grandmother (Lora Doolen)when I was a child. She was always very kind and welcoming. I am truly sorry to hear of her passing.

Vivian lived two doors from my grandparents in the 800-block of Cleveland Avenue. We also attended Cleveland Avenue Methodist Church. She was a good neighbor to my grandparents, John & Sis Minks. I remember that she always spoke to us as we grew up whenever we would walk past her house. She was a very kind lady.
Please accept our sympathy.

I am sorry to hear of Vivian's passing. I met her some time ago. I was wearing a jacket that had Doolen's concrete written on it & Vivian asked me if I was related to Dewey Doolen & I'm thinking we were related somehow? Again I'm sorry for your loss.

I remember Vivian as a little girl before we lost contact. She made our wedding cake when I married Jerry Logan. We had left Cleveland Ave. and was going to Third United Meth. then. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Abbie and Jerry Logan. I was Abbie Eagleton before I married Jerry.
