In 1948 they had Wayne, in 1950 Sherry, and in 1958, Bobby. The family moved to Albany in 1955, where Vi had a hair salon, and was very involved at their church, First Baptist Church of Putney. Vi loved being a hairstylist and leading Bible studies. She sewed clothes and quilts, as well as crocheting. She was an avid gardener, maintaining her home garden well into her 90’s.

Vi had 14 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren (so far). She was preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, Art; her beloved three children; Wayne, Sherry, and Bobby.
