Vivian Jones

Vivian and I worked together at a diner in Cape May, and she introduced me to Sauternes and steamed clams. I think it was the year Elvis Presley died. We lost track of each other, but today as I was cleaning a closet, I came upon a letter she wrote me in October of 1979. She was a true force of nature. A gorgeous human being. With a fierce mind. I have never forgotten her. I am deeply sorry for her family.

Condolences from the West Chester University community.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Banton & Jones Families. Larissa and Leonard Lucenko

VIvian was my close friend in middle and upper school. I remember her long, thick gorgeous hair, her intelligence, playing tennis with her in the summer, playing the clarinet in band, and doing just about everything together. I loved her refeshing perspective.
My deepest regrets to Viv's family...we are all blessed to have had her in our lives.

I had the honor of knowing Ms. Branton when I was in high school. Not being a big fan of school at the time I would cut class a lot but made sure to come back for hers. I've met many teachers in my time and she was by far one of the greatest. She had a way of making you want to go to class. She taught me things about school, life, & myself that I didn't know or realize before. She was truly inspirational and such a special woman. My condolences go out to the family. She will be missed.

Vivian! Beautiful, entirely unconventional, articulate and smart. Jeremy reminds me of you regularly. Farewell, adieu to a great spirit.

I remember her as a beautiful woman, with a big smile and a warm heart. My heartfelt condolences to her family. Tina Hanson (Kemblesville PA)

I was so saddened by this news. I was pretty close to Vivian in high school, remember some surprise birthday party at her home, her amazing speech when she was running for Vice President of our class, her beautiful mane of hair, her sweet smile. My thoughts and prayers are with your whole family.
