Viva Sermon

Viva Sermon passed away peacefully surrounded by family in Columbus, Ohio on April 11, 2021. She was 87 years old. She was born on March 6, 1934 in Neafus, Kentucky. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and most certainly a care-giver.

Viva always had the sense of music running through her veins, a smile on her face when in the presence of her family and friends, and an enormous amount of love fulfilled her heart. Along Viva’s side was her furry friend Jake. She spent her Sunday’s with Joey McCain cheering on the Cincinnati Reds.

Viva served as the “glue” to this family and was never shy to express her wisdom with anyone who came to her for guidance. The amount of tender love that trailed along her was captivating and country music encompassed her heart with rejoice. The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love and memories Viva has left behind on this Earth.

Preceded in death by parents Myrtle and John Bratcher, husband Jessie Sermon, siblings, Irene, Verlene, Leatha, Dorse, Dwight, Joe, Jeanette, Johnny, and great grandchild, Star.

Viva is survived by siblings Emma, Vernise, Sue (Belvin), Pat (Jr.), and Denny (Ellen). Also by son Mike and daughters Judy (Bryan) Scott, Debbie (Bill) Justice, Teresa (Brad) Lechler, and Anita (Todd) Smith. Viva was cherished and admired by her many grandkids and great grandkids.
