POPPL: Vivian
听
The death of Mrs. Vivian Laurel Poppl (nee Allen), age 78 years of Humboldt, occurred on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at Humboldt District Hospital. Vivian was born on September 6, 1936 in the Daylesford district to Bernard and Virginia (nee Baron) Allen. Vivian attended school in Cornwall, ON for three years and completed her education in St. Brieux. She married Ludwig Poppl and they farmed in the Daylesford area, where they raised their family of six children. The first years were tough with no modern conveniences, but they worked together as a family and persevered. In 1965, they were so thankful to get power and water put in. She grew a huge vegetable garden and canned hundreds of jars of produce each year. Vivian also hatched chicks which she then sold. From 1981 鈥� 1985, she worked as a Special Care Aid at Melfort Pioneer Lodge. Besides her garden, she loved her flowers and enjoyed crafts, especially knitting. Vivian enjoyed camping trips with her family when the children were young and especially loved their Christmas celebrations when she would host up to 50 people in their home. Ludwig 听passed away in 1996 and she remained on the farm until November 2000 when she and Patricia moved to Humboldt, which would be their home until the present. While living in Humboldt, she made many new friends and enjoyed volunteering at the Good Neighbour Store.
