She is preceded in death by Mr. Walter Johnson, her husband and a loved and respected member of the community. She is also preceded by her son, Albert 'Butchy' Johnson.
Vivian spent most of her time caring for her family and doing community outreach with the senior citizens of Jim Wells. She and Mr. Johnson were the original founders of the Alice Fire Department annual Christmas drive for the less advantaged children in the community. They also worked and organized Easter Egg Hunts, Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets, helping St. Vincent de Paul and many other community works.
They both believed and instilled in their children to 'always help your neighbor before they ask'. Vivian was born in Hidalgo, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. She moved to San Antonio, Texas to be with her elder sister where she met and fell in love with Walter. She is the youngest daughter of eleven. She was an avid crotchetier. She spent most of her free time making booties, hats, headbands and other hand crafted keepsakes for her grandchildren.
