Vivian Leona Long Connelly
1927 - 2014
Early Life: Vivian was born September 2, 1927, in Provo, Utah, to John Melvin and Martha Vivian Skinner Long. Her youth was spent herding cattle on horseback in the foothills of southeastern Provo where she had many fond memories and adventures with friends. She attended school in both Provo and Eureka, Utah.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: Vivian met her sweetheart, Wallace "Wally" D. Connelly, at a dance right after he returned from serving in the United States Navy. They were married November 7, 1946; later being sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Together, Vivian and Wally raised four amazing children in a close-knit family, giving them a deep appreciation for the beautiful outdoors and teaching them love, service and the incredible importance of family. Vivian was a devoted mother and homemaker; she nurtured and supported her children in various sport and outdoor activities as they grew up. She also helped and supported her husband in the family business, sacrificing much for the business and the family. Vivian had a passion for flowers and gardening; she was proud of her large, immaculate yard, which she took care of herself well into her seventies. She enjoyed flower arranging, embroidery and anything to do with camping, fishing and any outdoor activity or get-together that brought her family together. She loved spending her spare time at the family ranch in Diamond Fork Canyon. Her fun and spunky personality made it a joy just to be in her presence. For years, Vivian would ride to work every morning with Wally and then walk the five miles back home from the shop. This played an important role in her good health and ability to fight osteoporosis in her later years. It has been an honor to serve and care for such a remarkable woman the last few years and witness her determination and strength mixed with her kind, sweet spirit. Vivian Leona Long Connelly passed away peacefully, May 10, 2014, at her home in Provo, Utah. She was 86.
