She was born March 3, 1927, in Wichita, Kansas to Arthur and Pearl McCord. She was raised in Wichita and attended North High School. Vivian worked for several years as a loan officer in Santa Monica California before returning to Wichita to work for Mid-Kansas Federal. In 1978 she married Ralph P. “Red” Clark and moved to Liberal, Kansas. In 1980 they moved to Amarillo where they spent the remainder of their lives.
Vivian embodied living life to the fullest. She enjoyed spending her time gardening, reading, and caring for her beloved shelties – Cosmo, Shelby, and Mars. Any time she could spend outside was a pleasure. She loved meeting new people and was sure to be fast friends with whomever she met. Perhaps her favorite times were spent simply visiting and sharing stories of her life with her family and extensive network of friends who remember her as living a life full of grace and class.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 37 years, Red Clark, her parents, brother Clarence “Mack” McCord, and three sisters – Alice Lofland, Millie Pfeifley, and LaVonne Weidner with whom she was especially close. All were sure to greet her in a joyous reunion in Heaven.
She is survived by daughters; Patricia Craig and husband Jim, Shelley Behrhorst and husband Fritz, sons; Scott Clark and wife Chris, Paul Clark, Steven Clark, and wife Sonja. Vivian also leaves behind granddaughters, Brittany Alston, Channing Burney, and grandsons Chad Craig, Ian Clark, Dally Burney. She will be missed by her great-grandchildren, Braelee, Kenlee, and Dallas as well as a multitude of extended family and friends.
