Vivian Lee Howard passed away on Monday, December 5, 2016.

 

 

She was a truly extraordinary woman. There wasn’t a single thing she couldn’t fix with a kind word, a warm hug, and homemade yeast rolls. Vivian was more than a wife, a mother, a sister, a grandmother-she was warmth personified. She gave freely and loved so deeply she always seemed to have more than enough to go around.Vivian was born on May 24, 1947. She lived a good life, a full life, of love and laughter for 69 years.

Viv is remembered and deeply missed by the love of her life, Larry Richard Howard, to whom she was married for over 50 long, happy years. Her two daughters, Lori (Daniel) Bowman of Belvidere, Illinois and Mindy (Walt) Henrichsen of Loogootee, Indiana. One son, Mark (Marinda) Howard of Noblesville, Indiana. She is also survived by nine grandchildren, Kaitlin Bowman, Kassandra Bowman, Noah Bowman, Kaylee Bowman, Lauren Henrichsen, Lane Henrichsen, Mitchell Howard, Megan Howard and Matthew Howard. One sister, Kathy Havill of Washington, Indiana. All of whom miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Sarah Webster, grandparents, Logan and Pearl Webster and Glendora Greenwood.

She was an active member at the First Christian Church of Odon and prior to her retirement, she was employed at Crane Military Base for 26 years.
