Vivian Elaine (Witteman) McCarroll, 99, Las Vegas, NV, formerly of Tolley, died Thursday, January 20, 2022, at a Las Vegas care center.
She was born November 28, 1922, at home near Mohall, Renville County, ND.  She was the daughter of William and Nelle (Hatten) Witteman.  Vivian went to Minneapolis University one year and then beautician school in Minot before marrying Edward "Bus" McCarroll on April 22, 1942.
She and Bus lived and farmed around the Mouse River Valley their entire lives.  They raised a family of four girls, Dianne, Melody, Marjorie and Michelle.  In the 1970s, she and Bus became snowbirds spending their winter months out of the snow and cold in Mesa, AZ.  Vivian and Bus traveled the world and she was especially fond of Kenya, Africa.  June of each year was always spent in Canada fishing until Bus's death in 1993.
In 2005, Vivian sold her home in Arizona and relocated to Las Vegas to be near family.  She continued to travel back and forth to the farm in North Dakota until 2012.  She always said, "You can take the girl out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the girl."
Vivian had numerous interests during her long life, which included doll making, china painting and reading; and was an avid walker.
