Highland, UT - Vivian Parsons Apgood Powell passed away suddenly at her home after her sweet companion so lovingly cared for her through a long battle of Alzheimer's Disease on January 23, 2004.
Vivian was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
She was born February 2, 1936 in Axtell, Utah to Harvey Parsons and Geneal Mary Jensen.

He preceded her in death December 8, 1968.
She would later meet and marry Calvin Cox Powell January 26, 1970, and they would make their home in Highland, Utah where they enjoyed raising their families together.
Vivian's life was defined by service to others.
She endlessly worked to bless the lives of those that she touched.
She shared her creative talents with others through service as a Relief Society president, Young Women's president, nursery worker, and later in life as she worked with her husband doing temple work.
Vivian loved the arts and enjoyed listening to music and expressing her talents through visual arts and crafts.
