OBITUARY

Vivian J. Kaplan, 93, Deerfield IL. Wife of the late Lou Kaplan, mother of Janice Kaplan and Arden Brenner (David), grandmother of Leslie (Aidan) Lucas, Melissa Brenner and Audrey Brenner.

She was a real gosh darn-it. We are grateful for the long life she lived filled with love and friendship. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice. Graveside service Wednesday 12PM at Zion Gardens Cemetery, 6758 W. Addison Street, Chicago.

I met VIvian at Jan's housewarming party several years ago. She was gorgeous and glamourous and interested in everyone there. Her magnetism and vivaciousness attracted people to her. I can't remember now what we talked about but I remember my impression of her that here was a woman who was full of life. I am so glad I got to meet her. I am very sorry that she is gone but the people she loved and the people she met along the way will never forget her. I know I won't forget her.

Vivian is one of the fist people I met when moving to Princeton Village in 2005. I joined the water aerobics class she was teaching at our pool. She was a great instructor but more than that an interesting, dynamic and caring person. I am so grateful for having known her. She will truly be missed.
