Vivian Lefferts will be a Floragraph Honoree on this year’s float. Honored by OneLegacy

Vivian Lefferts lived with passion, purpose, and devotion. Her greatest joy was her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She and her husband, Larry, poured their hearts into raising their two children, John and Eleanor, creating a home filled with love and laughter.

In 2004, tragedy struck when their beloved son John died unexpectedly from an aortic dissection. His gift of corneas, bones, and tissues touched 37 lives. Vivian and Larry championed organ and tissue donation, which became a way to turn grief into hope.

One highlight of Vivian’s life came in 2013, when Gift of Hope sponsored her to ride on the Donate Life Rose Parade Float. She called it “the ride of a lifetime.” For seven years, Vivian and Larry served on the Float Committee, supporting other donor families with dedication and compassion.

In 2023, Vivian passed away unexpectedly. In her final act of generosity, she donated her corneas through Eversight, leaving a legacy of love, healing, and giving.
