Vivian Smith-Thompson Obituary
Vivian was born on January 14, 1960 in Baltimore, MD. and was raised in Middletown, MD where she eventually met her husband Tom and started their family. Many years later Viv and her family made their way to New England and found their forever home in the mountains of Southern, NH.
Vivian had a love for reading and enjoyed spending her free time with her many puppies and family. She looked forward to her quick Getaways to Pittsburgh NH with her husband Tom. Viv lived for her family and anyone who knew her, knew how much she adored her children and grandchildren. Over the last several years Viv started doing girls trips with her daughters which quickly became an annual tradition. Together they traveled to some of her favorite New England spots such as Burlington, Stowe, and Portland. Their trips involved escape rooms, lots of shopping, delicious food and lots of laughter. A tradition that her daughters will continue in her memory.
Viv is survived by her husband Tom, her two daughters and their husbands; Courtney and Jeremy Martineau and Whitney and Neal Beauregard, and her four granddaughters, Jillian and Maddison Martineau, Brooke and Makenna Beauregard; as well as several nephews and nieces.
Vivian is predeceased by her parents Nancy Klohr and Adrian Smith of Baltimore, MD and her sister Valerie Morrison of Newark, DE.
No public services will be held at the request of the family. A private family gathering will be held to celebrate her life.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Alzheimer's Association (a cause that was near and dear to Viv's heart) via their website https://act.alz.org/donate or by mail to Alzheimer's Association 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601.
