She was named Vivian Ardella Kakkinen and received her education at New Home School. On April 6, 1943 she married Emil Stuber. Together they farmed and ranched in the Manyberries area until moving into their home in Medicine Hat in 1981. Vivian worked alongside Emil, cultivating, combining, etc. until the boys got big enough to take over, though she still helped on the farm driving the Peterbuilt truck and trailer hauling hay bales off the field well into her 80’s. She was very active in the community, organizing the New Home and Manyberries School Homecomings. She was president of the Manyberries History Book Club and along with many others published the Manyberries Chinook history book. She loved the outdoors, planting her flower and vegetable gardens, and was very proud when she and Emil won a Farm Beautification award in 1976 from County of 40 Mile. She and Emil enjoyed travelling, especially to Hawaii; Alaska by motorhome; and numerous other trips.
