Vivian Doris Gagnon, 93 Vivian Doris Gagnon, 93, a lifetime resident of Anaconda, died July 7, 2016, in Rapid City, South Dakota, where she had moved to be close to her daughter, Connie, and son-in-law. She was born April 19, 1923, in Driggs, Idaho, to Clifford and Veldon Smith.

She was the second of five children, including four brothers, Don, Wayne, Del and Marvin, all of whom preceded her in death. She moved to Anaconda as a child and lived in town until age 13 when the family moved to the West Valley (Smithville). Viv is a graduate of Anaconda High School. She married Leonard E. Gagnon on Jan.

21, 1940, in Anaconda. They were together for 72 years, until Len passed away in 2012. Family and home were the center of Viv's universe. She loved daily summer horseback rides with Connie, Sandy, her adult friends as well as friends of Connie and Sandy time!) A beautiful yard and gar -den reflected Viv's green thumb. She loved sharing plant starts with others.

Many were the recipients of garden produce raised by her. She spent hours picking raspberries, again sharing them fresh or in the form of freezer jam she seemingly made by the ton. No seamstress outdid Viv. She developed the enviable skill of looking at a garment in a store and replicating it perfectly for Connie. She could also knit like none other; she was a real "knit wit." (That is k-n-i-t wit.) Her kids and grandkids sported many creations made by her.

She knitted gorgeous white coats for both her daughter and daughter-in-law that were especially enjoyed and envied by others. Vivian is survived by two children, Connie (Jac-que) Best of Rapid City and Sandy (Harriet) Gagnon of Bozeman. She had four grandchildren, Marc (Suzanne) Best of Helena, Jodi (Shad Harford) Anderson of Rapid City, when the kids were growing up. Connie and Sandy have great memories of pack trips they took Gagnon with their parents and friends. An extremely shy person at heart, Viv avoided being in the limelight at public gatherings, although she did enjoy visiting with individuals and small groups at such functions.

Her delicious edible and decorative contributions were enjoyed at the many parties in Anaconda that she attended with Len. Vivian entertained at home frequently with style and grace and always in a way that made every guest feel welcome and appreciated. She was a great cook and baker and loved sending goodies home with her guests. Her artistically frosted sugar cookies were both beautiful and delicious. She was an expert povitica maker as well.

Maurine spent her last five Yelsa years in Richland and Kennewick, Washington, where she was cared for by her daughter Linda and later at Serenity Cove.

In 1958, she opened Maurine's Dance Studio in Anaconda, where she taught ballet, tap, jazz, modern dance, tumbling, and even breakdancing to generations of children. Her annual dance recitals gave her great joy and satisfaction and her costume closet was unrivalled. At 95 she was still tapping her feet to music. and District Judge James D. Freebourn.
