Vivian Houghton

July 21, 1924 - May 18, 2014

Vivian Frost Houghton was born on July 21, 1924 in Topeka, KS, to Joseph and Mary Frost. She grew up in Ozawkie, KS, the only child of the town barber. Following high school, she attended a local business college and worked as a bank teller. She married Jack Houghton on January 21, 1943, a union that would last over 70 years. She spent a few years in Bremerton, WA, while Jack served in the Navy in WWII. When they returned to Topeka, a son and daughter were added to the family. She worked many years at Commercial Office Supply and seemed to know most of Topeka. She and Jack resided at Presbyterian Manor for several years until moving to Utah in 2013 to be closer to family. Jack passed away on August 30, 2013 and she peacefully joined him on May 18, 2014. She is survived by her son, Randy Houghton (wife Mary) of Rio Rancho, NM, and her daughter, Sandy Fink (husband Rick) of Herriman, UT. She also leaves three granddaughters: Amy Crow of Topeka, KS; Kacy Franklin of Gypsum, CO; and Alex Howe of Columbia, SC, as well as two great grandsons, Jacob and Caleb. A private service will be held at a later date. Condolences may be entered at serenicarefuneralhome.com.
