Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 10, Vivian’s discipline and strength allowed her to beat the odds and manage the diabetes so well that it had only a minor impact on her life, particularly as the technology improved over the past 15 years. Her professional career was as an administrative assistant working in a diverse set of circumstances including the Tennessee Valley Authority (where she met Paul), the State Egg Board of Indiana, the University of Tennessee, and BankOne. Vivian and Paul were married in Newport Rhode Island where they lived for the first 9 months of marriage. Multiple moves followed taking them to Grand Rapids, Minnesota, Baraboo Wisconsin, W. Lafayette and Lafayette, Indiana, Knoxville, TN and finally Columbus, OH. Vivian was a lifelong Tennessee Vols football fan but transitioned to become an OSU fan eventually. Vivian enjoyed music and reading, needlework, outdoor activities and travel. She hiked Mt. LeConte in the Smoky Mountains many times with Paul and friends. For 21 years she provided an annual soup supper for the WUMC Marriage Celebration group. She served on multiple committees at WUMC and remained active in the church until the end. The Vivian George Outdoor Scholarship Fund is an endowment fund to support children and youth in outdoor activities including church sponsored summer camp, work camp, vacation bible school, and other opportunities to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
