Vivian was born in Jamestown on Aug. 18, 1926, the daughter of the late George and Clara Delforce Adams, and was a graduate of Celoron High School. In earlier years, she was employed by Jamestown Mutual before starting and raising her family.

Vivian belonged to the Home Bureau and her Ladies Club comprised of her Celoron high school friends. It was during high school years that she received the nickname, ‘Fifi’. She enjoyed crafting and loved animals, having rescued many strays over the years. Her family will remember her as a good homemaker, mother, grandmother, cook and seamstress.
