Vivian Jones Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Anyone that met Vivian knew that animals were at the center of her world; she hoped to be a zoologist someday and knew so many facts about so many animals. Vivian enjoyed all things outdoors; camping, riding her bike, riding her horse Max and always loved a good playground. Many family vacations created endless memories, Vivian's favorite was always Disney World.
Vivian's desire to learn was evident in how much she enjoyed school; she wanted to understand how things worked, created beautiful art and loved to read. Vivian was lucky to have wonderful teachers, counselors and an incredible group of friends, all of whom supported her while she battled cancer.
Although only here for a short 11 years, Vivian was a precious gift to our world and a reminder to be curious, be brave, laugh a lot and dance in rain.
Vivian was deeply loved by her mother Jennifer and her sister Everly, who will always remember her as Sissy. She was so loved by her dear grandparents, F. David and Sandra Jones, uncle Jeremie and his wife Danielle and her two cousins Emma and Jacob Jones, all of Rochester.
There will never be enough words to express the gratitude the family has over these last impossible months; the aunties and their families, extended family, amazing friends that are now family, the Dark Horse family, the entire team at Rochester Memorial and the incredible care teams at Dana Farber/Jimmy Fund and Boston Children's sixth floor.
Vivian was so proud of her Beads of Courage during the last year. The family would ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to this amazing organization in her name at beadsofcourage.org.
Her Funeral Service will be held Friday, August 29, 2025 at 11 AM at St. Anthony's Church, 26 Hammond St., Mattapoisett, with everyone meeting directly at Church. Visiting hours will also be held at St. Anthony's Church on Thursday, August 28th from 4-8 PM. For directions and guestbook, visit www.saundersdwyer.com.
