Vivian Botkin, 79, of Hot Springs, Arkansas left this world and went to the arms of her Savior on October 17, 2024.

Vivan was born June 14 1945 in Beatrice Nebraska to Margaret and John Witte.

She was a faithful and founding member of the Sacred Heart of Jesus group and a big part of the Balboa Women’s Ministry. She was the leader of the women’s Maker’s Makers (this is a sewing, knitting, crocheting group) as her hobby was crocheting, and she helped make the teddy bears and got them to the policemen so they could be passed out. You could always find a smile in the Outreach Center whenever Vivian was volunteering; whether she was in pain or not, you never knew.

Vivian was preceded in death by her parents John and Margaret Witte and Brother Jerome Witte. She is survived by her beloved husband, Mike Botkin; her daughter, Bre Brennan; her son Craig Botkin; and her cherished grandchildren, Scott, Keith, Kate, and Bryan Botkin, and Declan and Maura Brennan.

A celebration of life will be held Friday October 19, at the Coronado Community Center in Hot Springs Arkansas. There will be a catholic mass of resurrection in Omaha Nebraska where she is to be buried at the National Cemetery.

In lou of gifts the family has requested any contributions be made to Shriner’s Children; a cause very dear to Vivian.
