My mom and dad met with Vivian and Louis at Meijer frequently for coffee. When able I joined them. We all enjoyed Vivian so much. We are so sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
We came to Muskegon in 1979 when Abe Joined another Christian family physician there, whom wed met through Vivians daughter, Cathy, and her husband, Phil. Upon meeting Vivian and Lou, you could say it was "love at first sight!" The embrace we received from both Vivian and Lou led us to call them our "adopted parents". Among the many times we were welcomed into their home, Thanksgiving at their place truly felt like being home. Lous dry humor and gentle gruffness coupled with Vivians smile, good cheer, and bubbly personality made them a great match and fun to be around.
We know you all are grieving the loss, but the future is BRIGHT as we look forward to joining her and all those we know and love in Gods presence.WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE!
Vivian was a wonderful lady. I cannot remember an exchange with her where I did not leave feeling blessed. She was the one who led me to the Lord and I was a wee one at Calvary Memorial Church. The world is much less in her absence. But she is now with Jesus. My condolences for your loss.
This is a beautiful tribute to a woman who was loved by so many.
Aunt Viv loved me from the moment I was born! And I was so blessed by it. My family has always been sure of her care for us, expressed in so many kind and generous ways. Aunt Viv was extravagant in her giving and loving, as well as her commitment to pray for those she loved.
Her service to others was born out of her passion for her Saviour. We know that Jesus welcomed Viv with a huge "well done", and I imagine also a giant hug. Aunt Vivs hugs were absolutely the BEST! We will miss her so very much. Our love to the entire Simonelli family ❤️
We met Vivian at Sea Oats in Destin, FL as she rented an Efficiency Apartment down the boardwalk from our apartment.
There she attended Destin Village Baptist Church! She enjoyed attending Sunday Services and Sunday School and the Women's Bible Study on Wednesday mornings-Everyone loved Vivian ! She blessed us all with her loving and cheerful and kind personality! We love you Vivian and all your kind words! You were such a pleasure to be around! 💐🌹🌻🌷
Vivian Simonelli was a very kind, nuturing, and loving Christian lady. I grew up attending Calvary Memorial Church with the Simonelli family. They are all very kind people!! My regards, to all the family. She will be missed by all who her life has touched. We will see you soon, Vivian, to worship Jesus Face-to-face!!
I'm so sorry for your loss! Vivian was one of the dearest lady's we have ever know. From the time I was a little girl visiting Calvary Memorial Church (with my aunt Ruth Kantola-Paul) to having her as an instructor at MCC, to seeing her in Meijer on her daily walks, to seeing her at Christian Care she reflected Jesus everywhere she went. She will be missed! Heaven gained an angel with a job well here on earth.
Awe was so sorry to hear of her passing today. Loved this lady my little hugger before Covid. I work at Meijer and would always take a hug from her! 💕😊 My condolences to the family. She was a beautiful lady inside and out!
With our love and deepest sympathy to all of Vivian's family. Vivian always greeted with a smile, was welcoming and gracious to all, and was interested in the concerns of others. May you all be comforted by God, and strengthened by his love and peace.
