Vivian Cross

1933 ~ 2015

Precious mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and sister.

Born in Carmangay, Alberta on July 16, 1933 to Arthur and Myrtle Johnson.

Vivian was raised on the farm at Barrhill, Alberta. She attended school at the Barrhill School. She married Robert (Tiny) Cross on June 8, 1951. She lived and worked most of her life in Southern Alberta where she raised six children; Carolyn, Gary, Bob (Bonnie), Patty (Randy), Debbie (Randy) and Wayne (Tyla).

She has twelve grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Her children and grandchildren were the most important thing in her life. She has always had the love and respect of each and every one of them. Her focus was not on material possessions, but rather on her family. Her family received her most prized possession of all – her love.

She was a talented artist, had an amazing green thumb and she loved her pets. She was straightforward, determined, and she lived her life with integrity.

She was predeceased by Arthur Johnson, Myrtle and Edgar Larsen, (Robert) Tiny Cross, Gary Cross and Wayne Cross.

We will miss you terribly mom, but you left us with this amazing legacy of determination and integrity that we were raised with and will continue to follow under your guidance in heaven.

You are our Shining Star, Rest in Peace.
