Vivienne's Burial of Ashes
In loving memory of Vivienne Rosalind Root who sadly passed away on Sunday 12th February 2023 following a long illness.
She is greatly loved and enormously missed by all her family and friends in the UK, Ireland and overseas.
Vivienne wished to be laid to rest close to her parents in the churchyard of St Mary's Freeland, Witney, Oxfordshire. She was buried on Monday 3rd April 2023 beside the Church Porch where she is watched over by the Madonna & Child above the main door. Irish shamrock grows on her resting place, forever a piece of Ireland in English soil.
Vivienne requested any condolences in the form of charitable donations to Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis. This was a cause important to her as she suffered from Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis for 10 years. The charity offers hope and support to sufferers, and champions research into improved outcomes and greater understanding of this devastating lung disease. You can donate below. Thank you.
