Vivian Lasalle

Vivian LaSalle

Vivian LaSalle was born in Lordsburg, New Mexico on August 22, 1922 to Dave and Ruth Manning. As a small child, the family moved to Hysham, Montana. Vivian graduated from Hysham High School and the University of Montana in Missoula, with a degree in History.

In 1945, Vivian married the love of her life, Conrad LaSalle. They had two sons, Michael, who lives with his family in Montana, and Richard, whose family resides in California. Vivian and Conrad moved to Hamilton in 1947 and Conrad, together with Mark Annin, formed a business partnership and established Hydro-Point Engineering Company.

Vivian loved to work for her church, help with sporting events, and play bridge. She also dedicated herself to the Girl Scout Program for 25 years and formed life-long friendships with the girls in her troop. This was all possible because she could be a stay-at-home mom - her most beloved job.

Vivian is preceded in death by her husband Conrad, her son Rich, her brother David, and her parents, Dave and Ruth. She is survived by her loving sister Shirley Mouat, her son Michael and his wife Tamis, Rich's wife Barbara, her grandchildren Jael, Zak, Aaron, Alysha, Averyl, Lindsay, Brad, Richard, Debbie, and Jerry, her great grandchildren Porter, Heather, and Preston, and her adopted "daughters" Tammy Laib and Judy Kendall.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you please make donations to St. Francis of Assisi Parish.
