Vivian worked as a bank teller for Bank of Hawaii in Kealakekua-Kona. After retiring from the bank, worked for KTA Supermarket as a cashier in Kailua-Kona and later became a childcare provider teaching the children in her care her famous "Hi Neighbor" song that is still fondly remembered by all. She and her husband Juniom moved to California in 2003 and helped open and worked at L&L Drive Inn in Pleasant Hill where she met and made many friends. She finished up her career working as a Food Demonstrator for CDS at Costco in Concord, where her smile and friendly personality warranted many friendships.
Her favorite hobbies included sewing, crocheting, and doing quilt work. She also enjoyed watching Korean Dramas and Food Network shows.
She was loved by many who knew her for her lifetime and those who met her for just one moment. She was called "Girl", "Manang", "Sistah" and of course Mom, Mommy, Grandma and G-Ma. She was a ray of sunshine to everyone she met and always had a kind word to say wherever she went and with whomever she met. She was the oldest girl in her generation, and everyone looked up to her and respected her immensely. She was a pillar of strength that held her family together through good times and bad times. She always looked for the good in everything and everyone. Her faith was strong, and she will be remembered for her strength to push through any adversity that came her way.
