They shared a journey of fifty-four years together and raised two sons. Vida's family was what her life revolved around. The love and care Vida had for her husband and sons were unconditional. Family gatherings and being with her grandchildren gave Vida great joy. Early in life, Vida worked for several years at local garment factories. Later, she went to work for Carter's Automotive where she worked as an assembly line worker, until retiring. Vida had a personality that everyone loved to be around.
