Vivian Sibley, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2024. Born in Charleston, West Virginia, on January 29, 1931, Vivian graced the world for 93 years, leaving a lasting impression on both her family and friends.

Vivian, formerly known by her maiden name Swanberg, dedicated over five decades to her passion for horses. Her generosity extended to teaching others in the art of dressage, where many of her students fondly remember her guidance and wisdom. Beyond her equestrian pursuits, she possessed an appreciation for music, flowers, and antiques, which reflected her vibrant personality and love for life.
