Vivian was a member of Journey Church. She is a retired school teacher of 28 years in the Glade community. Vivian found her greatest happiness in life being with her family. It was with her children and grandchildren that her beautiful smile and laughter could be seen and heard by everyone. They were what she was the most proud of in her life, her greatest achievements and accomplishments. She loved gatherings at her home with her family and always wanted them to be special and memorable so that when she was gone, they would have memories of the wonderful times together. Holidays at her home were her favorite. She loved to bake sweets and wanted everyone to "come over and get some". She loved the Christmas lights in the smoky mountains where she coined the phrase "baaaby looooook" over and over at every different light they passed. She was bull headed and stubborn but also driven. That's what pushed her to return to college on her 30s to not only obtain a degree but a Masters in Elementary Education. She spent 28 years in the school system and had part in teaching hundred of children during that time.  No one ever left her presence without hearing "love you".. Rest east momma, and "we love ya".

She was preceded in death by her parents, D.L. and Lois Chapman Bishop, siblings, Gloria Aaron, Davis "Torchy" Bishop, Marilyn Ratcliff, Charlie Bishop, nieces, Tina Cosper, Angie Buckley, great-nephew, Andrew Buckley.

Survivors include her daughter, Nikki Webber (Joey), son, Josh Brooks (Amber), grandchildren, Logan Pippen, Lexi Pippen, Jada Brooks, sisters, Jeanette Allgood, Deborah Gilbert (Gerald) and a host of nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Logan Pippen, Joey Pippen, Jason Allgood, Jonathan Cosper, Justin Aaron, and Joseph Graham.

Honorary pallbearers will be David Aaron.
