After her children were grown, Vivian found enjoyment in traveling, dancing, card playing at the senior centers, visiting local casinos, and her scratch-offs. Her signature comment after losing was, "You know what!!!" Playing cards with her sons-in-law gave her much joy & laughter, especially when she won.
