Who Was Vivienne Marie Chicago?
She was born January 18, 1945, to Frank and Irmagard Gepperth in Chicago and spent much of her early life caring for others – particularly children in need. With great skill, compassion, and dedication Vivienne pursued pediatric nursing as her profession of choice – dedicating not just medical but emotional care as well. She dedicated herself completely to children whose well-being she dedicated herself as much to.
Vivienne was deeply committed to her church in Arlington Heights where she taught Sunday School and participated in other church activities. Her faith guided every aspect of her life as it guided the service she rendered others; even her illness and retirement did not diminish this impactful woman from making an imprint mark upon the community.
How Did She Impact Her Community?
Vivienne had an enormous effect on the Arlington Heights community through her involvement in church activities – specifically teaching Sunday School – that allowed her to touch many families’ lives in Arlington Heights. Through teaching children bible passages but also imparting life lessons she helped foster spiritual and moral development within them.
Vivienne made an incalculable impact as a pediatric nurse. Pediatric nurses play a pivotal role in healthcare, not only providing medical treatments to their young patients and families but also comfort and reassurance to them and their loved ones. She excelled at this role with great empathy, patience, and exceptional care for all her young patients and families, becoming beloved figures within the communities she served.
Who were Her Key People?
Vivienne’s life was greatly enhanced by many important people in her life, especially Diane and Kenneth Riordan and their children whom she considered part of her “adopted family”. Their presence showed how deeply loved Vivienne could be beyond the biological connections she made within her biological family unit. This demonstrated her capacity for love while creating lasting bonds beyond biological family structures.
Your extended family also played an essential part in her life story.

These individuals offered support, companionship, and love that contributed to making life-fulfilling experiences.
