Vivian Gregory, a 50-year resident of Kenosha, died Sunday, November 26th, 2006, in Crossville, TN, her current home. She was born in Grenada, MS, on January 12, 1914, to Charles and Minnie (Tilghman) Reinhardt. She was devoted to her family and best known for her love of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and his Church. She had a special affinity for children and this was the focus of her ministry. She invited children from her neighborhood to church and personally took them, this represented a lifelong pursuit.

I'm so saddened to hear of Aunt Vivians passing. I loved her so. I thought of her often even tho I had lost touch after moms passing. The thing I loved and remember the most was her braid in her hair, her sweet kind face. I will miss her. You couldn't of said it better when your wrote "we are special because she is a part of our lives."Bye Aunt Vivian, I will see you again some day. Love, Sarah
