She worked at the Miller and Faulkton, South Dakota hospitals after graduation.
Vivian married William Johnson on October 26, 1956 and moved to Gettysburg. She became a loving mom to three children and an inseparable mate to Bill.

Vivian loved crocheting, bowling, lunch and coffee dates with her lifelong friends and most of all-her grandchildren. With every grandchild there was always a picture with grandma giving them a bath in the kitchen sink!
Vivian was always there for those around her and was loved so much by her family. We are going to miss her, but know she is free to be the person she was. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist Church and participated in women’s circle at church.
She is survived by loving husband, Bill; son: Jeff (Dona Mae) Johnson; daughters: Pam (Don) Templeton and Sue (Tom) Armbruster; grandchildren: Colby Johnson, Kenan Johnson, Krista (Jonny) Wiener, Casey Templeton, Trevor Armbruster, and Tyler Armbruster; great grandchildren: Jordan Sanders, Treyton Sanders, and Carson Sanders; sisters: Joan Eggers and Winifred Burke; and many nieces and nephews.
Vivian was preceded in death by her parents: Elton and Cora Burke; brothers: James, Roy, Merle, Melvin, and Elton Jr.; sisters: Alice Kinchloe and Evelyn Kruse.
Vivian’s Family would like to thank the caring staff of Golden Living Center for all the loving care she received for the past two years.
