To the family of Vivian Todden! She was my favorite Gym Teacher at Woodruff High School. She was so full of life. We became close friends even after I graduated High School. I have so many great memories of her and her husband Irv. I got to visit them at their house on Greenbrier Ln. Also at Hillside Lutheran Village. And when they had their winter home in Apache Junction,Arizona, my boyfriend and would pick them up do some sightseeing and even go out to dinner. I will always cherish these memories. In my heart and never forgotten. R. I.P Vivian. I will miss you dearly! My heart goes out to her husband Irv and to the rest of her family!

I was fortunate to have Mrs. Todden as a Freshman and a Senior. I was in the group of students who watched her save the baby's life. She was a great role model and teacher. For years after she was best friends with Miss Scheffel who lived across the street from me. Every time she visited I would get a wave and she would yell my maiden name, " Hi Lawrence'" from across the street. I expect to hear that same greeting when I enter heaven's gate. Todden never forgot her former students. Love you, Mrs. Todden

I had her as a PE teacher at Woodruff. She was tough, funny, and the most energetic person I know. Then later, through my brother's marriage, I got to know her son, Gary and we had many, many good times and holidays with all the family. She will be greatly missed.

With a heavy heart I give my condolences to the family. There is a special place in my heart for Vivian. She is an angel in my eyes and always will be until the day I die. My name is Bobby Cecil and Vivian saved my life when I was a baby. Without her I wouldn't be here now. I know there is a special place in heaven for her. Thank you Vivian, my angel.
