 Vi was born on June 26, 1949, in Jefferson City, a daughter to the late Everett and Clara (Mitchell) Jarvis. 

 She was a lifelong area resident and a 1967 graduate of Bland High School. Vi was a member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Sullivan. 

 Vi had been employed as a waitress at Siegfried Fine Foods in Owensville for over 15 years when it was open. She also worked with Mercedes Benz in St. Louis as a secretary. 

Her hobbies included doing needle point, going to car shows, gardening, and planting flowers. Her faith in God was strong and she read her bible frequently. Vi was a great cook known for her fried chicken and desserts and one would never leave her house hungry. She loved getting together with the whole family and having big meals.
