Vivian was born December 30, 1930 to Earl Millard and Madalene Millard. Vivian served her country in the United States Air Force. She transferred to New Orleans, LA where she married H Leighton LeGros, Sr. and had seven children in rural Covington, LA. Vivian enjoyed acting and was an active participant in Playmakers productions that were a popular attraction and considered part of Covington's original social fiber. She also served as a society columnist for the then once-a-week publication in Covington – "The St. Tammany Farmer". Much of the information she received as the society columnist could not be published, but provided her with a lot of entertaining small town gossip. She enjoyed ballroom dancing and loved to participate in ballroom dancing competitions. Vivian was a lifelong duplicate bridge player and enjoyed playing in tournaments. A large part of her life was spent serving others at the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services where she retired. Her main accomplishment was raising seven loving children. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to celebrate her life at Maison Lafitte, 402 Lafitte Street, Mandeville, LA, 70448 (next to Our Lady of the Lake Church) at 1:00 PM on Saturday, January 28, 2017. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations to the St. Tammany Parish Humane Society, 20384 Harrison Avenue, Covington, LA. E.J. Fielding Funeral Home entrusted with the arrangements.
