Read More	Vivian Maxine Johnson Meher, age 90 of Houston, Texas, was born on November 12, 1924 in Decorah, Iowa, entered Heavens Gates on December 22, 2014, to join her father Oliver, mother Helen Gladys and only brother Orville Johnson. She was born on Oliver's original farm, known to the family as The Forty. They moved to the new farm below Hauge Lutheran Church a couple of years later. She was the oldest of four children of Oliver and Gladys (Jaastad) Johnson. Vivian was a cheerleader at Decorah High School and graduated in the spring of 1942. After graduation she married Kenneth Nesset of Decorah. He was in the Navy and stationed in Norfolk, Virginia at that time. They had three children, Bruce, Barbara and Lynn. She married John Meher in 1960 and had another son, David. Vivian was an adventurous woman, never giving up, which led her to hold many types of jobs. She started as a medical secretary in Chicago, Puerto Rico, Memphis, and Washington, DC. Then she went on to become a beautician (Roffler Master Stylist), barber, real-estate agent, and ultimately ended up retiring from the Bureau of Land Management in Portland, Oregon. After retirement she took time to travel and see all she could see, taking as many pictures to chronicle her adventures as she could. She loved gems and minerals and collected beautiful specimens. Not only could she sew but she was an excellent cook. Her other hobbies included gardening, dancing and painting. Even though Vivian moved away from her native Decorah, she maintained an immense pride and love of her Norwegian heritage and passed it on to her children. Above all, Vivian was a loving, caring mother that taught her children through generosity when she had nothing, tough love when needed, and an example of the never give up spirit. She was an amazing woman.
