Vivian was born on December 7, 1930, in the serene town of Bancroft, Idaho, a place that cultivated her gentle spirit and infused her with a love for community and nature. Vivian dedicated her life to the service of others through her nursing career. Her journey began at Alphonsus Hospital School of Nursing, where she pursued her passion for caring and education, obtaining a degree in nursing education. She furthered this vocation by becoming a revered nursing instructor at Macon College, where she imparted her wisdom and compassion to countless students until her retirement in 1996. Her career was a testament to her commitment to bettering the lives of those around her. A devout member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Warner Robins, Georgia, and an active participant in the Golden Hearts and the Sunday School class, Vivian found profound joy and fulfillment in her faith. Her days were often enriched by her involvement in the Garden Club at Eagle Springs, where she cultivated beauty and harmony.

Vivian's life was interwoven with the warmth of family. Preceded in death by her devoted husband, Col. Gerald E. Buller (USAF Ret.); her loving parents, John C. Evans and Lucy Loveland Evans; 9 brothers, 3 sisters; son, Donald P. Buller; daughter, Ann Van Lith; son-in-law, Thomas McNiel; daughter-in-law, Michelle Buller, granddaughter, Mary Buller, and great grandson, Luke Lawrence.

She is survived by her children: Kelly Buller (Barbara), Madeline McNiel Roberts (Harris), Marianne Gothard (Roddy), Gerald Buller (Elise), Rebecca Welu (Jamie), and son-in-law, Rick Van Lith and daughter-in-law, Gail Buller. She leaves behind a cherished legacy through her 20 grandchildren and  29 great-grandchildren, who continue to embody the values she held dear. Her passing leaves a void, but her spirit flourishes within the hearts of those she touched.  Vivian E. Buller lives on through the smiles and memories shared by her family and the legacy of care she spread throughout her community. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
