Vivian Delores (Maffitt) Bickerstaff (1941-2020)

Posted in:

Vivian Delores (Maffitt) Bickerstaff of Wilson, Kan., formerly of Savannah, Mo., went to be in the arms of the Lord April 13, 2020, at the age of 78. She was born July 7, 1941 to Donald and Marietta Irene (Mitchell) Maffitt in Graham, Mo.

Vivian received her nursing degree in 1962 from Methodist Hospital and Medical Center School of Nursing in St. Joseph, Mo. She worked as an RN at Heartland Health working in Labor, Delivery, and Nursery. She was a woman of Christian faith and cared more for others than herself as evidenced by her profession from which she retired. 

Vivian is survived by two children, Lori (Keith) Speer, and Bruce (Alyssa) Bickerstaff II; six grandchildren, Alex, Bruce III “Trey”, Quintin, Alissa, Lillian, and Hosanna; one great-grandchild, Hazel; and sisters, Donna Maffitt and Pamela (Dave) Sorenson, both of Missouri.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Irene; daughters, Sherri Laney and Patricia Bickerstaff; and brother, C.C. Maffitt.

Family services will be held at a later date.  

Memorials are suggested to Hutchinson Hospice House or St. Jude Children’s Hospital and may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, PO Box 533, Wilson, Kan. 67490.
