Vivian was born in Taber April 17, 1925, the eldest daughter of Morgan and Phoebe (nee Wilson) Collett and received her schooling in Taber. She married Archie on February 19, 1944 and they were blessed with five children. Their early years were spent on the family farm south of Taber with a move into town after the death of their son Blair. Archie predeceased Vivian September 20, 1978. Her last twenty six years were spent in long term care at the Taber Continuing Care and with the last few months at the Linden View facility. We will treasure always the many care givers, volunteers and life long friends she made during her stays in both facilities.
