In Loving Memory of Vivian Diane Reda
May 6, 1951 - October 5, 2025
Vivian Diane Reda was a woman of quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering faith. A loving mother, grandmother, and friend, she faced every season of life with grace, including her long journey with breast cancer.
Vivian was first diagnosed in 2009 and, true to her nature, met the challenge with courage, positivity, and faith. She became a source of comfort and inspiration to others walking the same path, reminding them that even in the hardest moments, hope and kindness could prevail.
In 2017, Vivian's cancer returned as stage 4, yet her joy, humor, and love for life never dimmed. She continued to encourage others, celebrate family milestones, and pour her heart into the people and causes she loved.
She passed peacefully on October 5, 2025, after unrelated health complications, leaving behind a legacy of love that continues to shine through her children, grandchildren, and everyone she touched.
Vivian believed deeply in lifting others up - especially those facing battles of their own. This page was created in her honor to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation, an organization dedicated to the research, education, and support she so valued.
Every donation made in Vivian's name continues her mission of compassion and courage - helping others fight, heal, and hope again.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7
