She was a Sunday school teacher, organist, Young People’s Choir director and past member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in North River, Lunenburg Co. She was employed by the Royal Bank of Canada, New Germany branch and the first married woman to ever work at that branch; she retired to raise her family. After moving to Brickton, she worked at the Royal Bank of Canada in Lawrencetown, Annapolis Co. and retired early due to ill health. Vivian also became a member of the Lawrencetown Baptist Church.
