Vivian was a charter member of Hosanna Free Lutheran Church in St. James, Minnesota. She trusted in Jesus Christ as her Savior from the time she was a young girl and claimed Isaiah 61:10 as her testimony: I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness.
