VIVIAN SOLARES OBITUARY

Vivian Schoenfeld Solares found eternal peace on June 15, 2022, at 10:35 am, with her family by her side at the age of 82 years old, with her final words being "I'm ready to go".

Vivian was born March 11, 1940, in New Orleans, Louisiana to Eugene and Vivian Schoenfeld and was the second of five children. Vivian lived a full and eventful life as she grew up in New Orleans. She attended high school at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and graduated from Dominican College. While growing up in New Orleans, Vivian enjoyed spending time with her grandmother, Mere. Vivian was the family historian, and told many stories about grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even family pets.

Vivian was always ready to face challenges head on, and was often an outside the box thinker, inventing many things throughout her life to help with her day-to-day living. There was never a challenge or project that was too big for Vivian, she always did things little by little until they were completed. After starting a family in 1963, Vivian and her husband moved to Thibodaux, Louisiana where they had three more children, before settling into her home in Harahan, Louisiana in 1972. It was in her house in Harahan where Vivian raised her four children and would eventually help raise her grandchildren at different stages of their lives. Vivian, a teacher by profession, made it a point to show her children and grandchildren the importance of education and hard work.

During her life Vivian was able to imprint lifelong lessons on her family and friends that will carry on her legacy. As Vivian liked to say, "despite everything that happened it was a wonderful life". Vivian also loved gardening and going to her cabin in Kiln, Mississippi.

Vivian will be missed dearly by those who knew her. Vivian was preceded in death by her husband Sigmund A. Solares, her father Eugene M. Schoenfeld, her mother Vivian M. Schoenfeld and her brothers Eugene M. and Robert M. Schoenfeld.

Vivian is survived by her older sister Kathleen S. Casey, her younger brother Noel D. Schoenfeld, her four children Jessica S. Cristina, Rachel R. Solares, Vivian S. Cahill, and Sigmund J. Solares (Brandy), her eight grandchildren Ashley F. Millet (Jordan), Madeline Cristina, Michael Cristina, Alexandra V. Demac, Olivia R. Demac, Corey C. Cahill, Ryan W. Demac, Arden J. Demac and great-grandchild Leo D. Millet.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the memorial service in the chapel of Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans, on Monday, June 27, 2022, at 11:00 a.m. Visitation will be held at the funeral home beginning at 9:00 a.m. Per
