Vivian was a sweet and hard working lady. I loved working with her while I was employed at UCA. After Vivian retired I would see her in the grocery store and have a good visit.

I came to UCA in 1987 as Director of Housing. Vivian was the Office Administrator and held the entire housing department together. She is the "classiest lady" I know! Students and parents would come to our office with concerns and she made them feel at home, like they were family. She was gracious and a tremendous role model for the entire University. She was the first recipient of the "Staff Employee of the Year" Award at UCA. Vivian will be missed.
