It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our Mom, Grandma, Gviv and G.G. Vivian G. Hiley, 96 who passed away on Sunday, April 23rd.
Vivian lived a long life in Borodino where she was born. She was the last original “Borodinine”. She went to a one room school house on Nunnery Road and then to Skaneateles High School where she graduated in 1944. After raising a family, she went to work at Midlakes Country Club then Welch Allyn.
After retiring she worked weekends at The Granary Antiques where she made some very special friends. When in her 70’s she joined the Skaneateles Y where again special friendships were made and have remained till the end – Thank You to all of you.
She was involved in the Borodino Ladies Auxiliary through the Fire Department from the late 60’s up until last summer.
Vivian was predeceased by her parents Frank and Mary Hiley and a son Mitch Slater.
She is survived by a daughter Becky (Shum) Leubner, 2 granddaughters, Sarah (Brad) Rossignol, Amy (Mike) Tartaglia and 1 great-granddaughter Alison and 2 great-grandsons Colton and Macoy.
She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Linda Slater and her children Ian, Colin, and Tiffany and 2 grandsons Johnny and Julian. She also leaves behind her faithful companions “Mustard”.
A very special Thank You goes out to Annette who stayed with her on Friday Nights and to neighbors Becky C., Linda C., Chris F., Janet L., and Janet H. for just coming to visit her the last few months.
Mom’s request was to have no calling hours or service because she was a firm believer in the saying: “If you can’t come see me when I’m alive you needn’t come when I’m dead”.
So, we have honored her wishes. Any donations can be made to the Borodino Fire Department.
