Vivian Lovejoy Kind

November 17, 1926 - April 13, 2013

It is with great sadness, but with wonderful memories, as the family announces the peaceful passing of our most loving, caring and kind Beloved Wife, Mother, Aunt, Grandma, and Great-Grandma & Great-Aunt on April 13, 2013. Born in Audubon, MN on November 17, 1926, she is preceded in death by her loving husband Allan Kind, her parents, her sister Leone and several close friends. She leaves behind all 5 of her children, Paul, Teresa Larsen (John), Chris, Diana Weatherman (Wade), Toney (Launa), in addition to sisters Diantha and Francis, her most loved sister-in-law Carole Murray (Willie), one of her favorite nieces Tami (she called Grandma even before she became a Grandma), grandchildren Jeremy, Josh, Brandon & Whitney, great grandchildren Lilly, Briar, Aryiah, Jack, Amelia, and several nieces & nephews whom she was known as "Auntie DeeDee". She was a devout Lutheran and loved Christ. She was an awesome cook and a lot of times had extra kids over for dinner - she was especially great at making lefse & wedding/birthday cakes. She worked nights so she could be home during the day for her children. She gave so much of herself that we could not even possibly repay her but we can rejoice in the time we had with her on this earth. She had a zest for life and lived life to the fullest and that's a lesson we will take and hold on to each and every day. She loved to dance and loved her "old" country western music. She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. In lieu of flowers, her wish was to make a donation to Disabled Veterans. Viewing and services will be held at Donelson-Fir Lawn Memorial Center, 1070 W. Main St., Hillsboro, OR on Saturday April 20th, 11am followed by a celebration of her life at "Joe's Pastime" in Hillsboro.
