Obituary:
Born on November 24th, 1991 to Rosanna Paula Collins and Dwight Ballard (biological father), at 18 months Antonio Bennett (step-father) enters her life. And is who Vivian thought of as her Father. She was the third oldest of 7 children. Vivian was baptized at Calvary United Methodist Church in Milford, Ohio. She is a graduate of Lockland High School.

From Latin origin Vivian’s name means full of life, and to those that loved and cared for her, Vivian was more than that. Vivian was larger than life. She could turn heads in whatever room she walked into. Her laughter, her boisterous personality, and her never ending kindness would draw you in and capture your heart. She always had a shoulder for you to lean on. Her sassy personality and quick wit was sure to always get a laugh. She was the type of woman who would not bite her tongue for anyone. Vivian was always there for anyone that needed her. Vivian went Home to be with her Lord and Savior on September 12th, 2016.

She is survived by her Mother, Rosanna “Paula” Collins, her Fathers, Antonio Bennett and Dwight Ballard. Her siblings Joshua Collins, Laura Collins, Antonio Collins, Deja Collins, and Vinson Collins. Proceeded in death by Lawrence Collins (Grandfather) and Thomas Lee Collins-Bennett (brother). She also leaves behind a host of family and friends who will miss her deeply.
