On August 24, 1958, Vivian married Bernard Paul Friedel, Sr. at St. John Catholic Church in Fayetteville, Texas. They were together for 62 years before his passing.

Vivian was a loving Mother and Grandmother who took her homemaking duties to heart. She loved to sew, quilt, and crochet, all by hand, she didn't believe in using machines for any of the work. She always made sure that each new baby in the family had their very own quilt upon arrival. Holidays were spent cooking wonderful meals with the whole family gathered around. On other occasions the family would get together and have family game nights, usually consisting of Chinese Checkers or sometimes a good game of Rummy. Vivian was also an avid fan of the Astros and the Spurs.
