Vivianne Lake Obituary
Naples, FL
Vivianne O. Lake, 84, died peacefully at home in Naples, FL on May 30. A native of Guadalajara, Mexico, Vivianne was educated at l'Ecole Francaise, Notre Dame de Sion, and the University of Kansas City. She and Charles, her beloved husband of 50 years, lived most of their married life in Louisville, KY, where Charles was Chief Legal Counsel for GE Appliance Park. Vivianne was active in the community, serving on numerous boards including the American Red Cross Louisville Chapter, Children's Hospital Foundation, the KY Art and Craft Foundation of which she was a founding board member and Chairman of its first Bourbon Ball, the KY Opera, and the J. B. Speed Art Museum. She also served on the Bellarmine University Women's Council and the Kentuckiana Metroversity Council. Earlier in their married life, Vivianne served on the boards of Syracuse Memorial Hospital, the Syracuse Symphony, and the Everson Museum of Art. Over the years, Vivianne and Charles made many lifelong friendships through their memberships at the Corinthian, Larchmont, Willow Banks and Naples Yacht Clubs, the Onondaga Country Club, Calvary Club, and the Louisville Boat Club. Vivianne was an avid tennis player, golfer and skier, and she loved sailing with Charles in the Virgin Islands and up the New England coast to Nantucket, where they summered for many years. Vivianne was known for her warmth, grace and elegance, and her generosity of spirit brought sunshine into the lives of many. She cherished her friendships and she will be dearly missed. Vivianne is survived by her loving daughter Vivianne of New York City and an extended family in Mexico with whom she remained close her entire life. A memorial service will be held in Naples on Sat., Dec 1st, 11:00 am at Bower Chapel at Moorings Park. She will be interred with Charles at Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, gifts in her memory may be made to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, ATTN: Emily Carter, 885 Second Ave, 7th Fl., New York, NY 10017.
