Green Bay Wisconsin Press-Gazette, May 15, 2016
The Honorable Vivi L. Dilweg, JD, passed away on May 5th, 2016 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. Born June 27th, 1943 in Northern Ireland to parents Samuel Windrym-Armour and Rue McIlwain Windrym-Armour. She was raised in Northern Ireland with her sister Heather. The Armour's immigrated to America in 1951 and resided in St. Louis, Missouri. Vivi graduated from Kirkwood High School in 1960 and from Washington University, both with honors in 1964. She received her JD from the University of Texas Law School in 1967 where she was a member of the Law Review. In 1966 she wed the love of her life Gary Dilweg with whom she celebrated 50 years of marriage and raised dearly loved sons Sean, Rory and Travis Dilweg.
After Law School Vivi and Gary settled in Green Bay, Wisconsin where they turned a one-room schoolhouse into a beautiful home overlooking the city. Vivi was an adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay for 3 years. She was in private practice for more than two decades and became managing partner at Liebman, Conway, Olejniczak, Jerry & Dilweg. In 1982 she was appointed to the Wisconsin 8th Circuit Court as the first female Judge in Brown County, serving until 1999. During her tenure with the Brown County Court, Vivi led the effort to renovate the Brown County Courthouse, creating the jewel it is today.
In her career as an esteemed and highly respected Judge, Vivi served the legal community in many other ways. She was active in the Wisconsin and American Bar Association, serving on many committees, including the committee that established a new set of rules and guidelines for judicial ethics throughout the United States. From 1990-1995, upon the appointment of President George H.W. Bush, Vivi served on the State Justice Institute, an entity designed to improve the quality of state courts in the United States. She also served as a member of the American Judicature Society. In 1998, she was appointed Chairwoman-Elect of the National Conference of State Trial Court Judges.
Vivi had a love of the great outdoors. She spent her vacations with her family cross-country skiing, bodysurfing in the ocean, hiking on the California coast, and camping. During drives across the United States, she and her family visited national parks and monuments throughout the country. She genuinely enjoyed her home in the countryside with her family, dogs, & friends.
In addition to her husband Gary and children Sean, Rory and Travis, Vivi is survived by beloved daughters-in-law France, Laura, Nicole; precious grandchildren Mercer, Kian & Willow; sister the Honorable Heather Armour Hellmich; her brothers-in-law Hudson Taylor Hellmich, Robert Dilweg; sisters-in-law Diane Cromwell, Joanne Dilweg and many loving nieces and nephews. Vivi's family wishes to express a special thanks to the many family members and caregivers whose presence, love and affection sustained her and Gary through her long and difficult illness.
There will be a celebration from 4pm to 6pm on June 18th at the Brown County Courthouse, in Green Bay. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Wisconsin Chapter.
