Boles, Vivian J.

Vivian Joan Boles, 94, of New Carlisle, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on November 25, 2025. She was born on March 3, 1931, in Logan County to the late Emery and Crystal Wallace. She was a farmer's wife, the family babysitter, and a true homemaker. Later in life, she enjoyed working as a page at the New Carlisle Library. Although she was legally blind, Vivan didn't let that slow her down. She enjoyed traveling the country, had viewed most of the United States from the passenger seat. Most of her trips were to see her family, who were spread across the country, but some memorable trips were to Red's games and even an on-field experience at Lambeau. She loved to craft and create, and she was very passionate about making plarn that was used to create sleeping mats for the homeless. Most of all, Vivian always cleared her calendar to attend family and friends' showers, weddings, reunions and funerals.
