Vivian, the youngest of 11 children, was born on June 16^th, 1941, to Evelyn and Joe Uria. She was born and raised in Homedale, ID. It was there in her hometown that she cheered for her high school and fell in love with a basketball player from a rival team, Dick Ensley, after giving him a hard time of course! She married him on February 21^st, 1959, created a beautiful life together raising kids, racing pigeons, and admiring the beauty in flowers. Vivian’s husband and children describe her as strong, loving, special, brave and the absolute best. There is no doubt she loved unconditionally her whole life.

Vivian was a proud grandmother to 14 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. She got so much joy out of seeing all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren grow. She cherished every updated photo and visit she would receive.
