After a life of love and quiet grace, Vivian Elizabeth Grigho of Newnan, GA has passed.
Behind every name is a life, and behind every life are the people who loved it.
Vivian spent her working life as ['Bank of America and was a member of Providence Baptist Church'] and held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Those who live by belief leave a different kind of mark.
