Vivian Luann Sprehe passed peacefully the morning of April 2, 2026. Vivian was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years of marriage, Edward Dean Sprehe.
Born and raised in Beckemyer, Ill., the family later relocated to Charlotte. Subsequent to raising her family, she entered the work force and was employed in the insurance business for over 30 years in Charlotte. An active outdoors lifestyle pleased her the most as she enjoyed hiking, bicycling, and most anything else involving nature. In her later years, she and Dean became active “birders” attending a number of Audobon functions throughout the state. She also was an active member of the Tyvola Road Senior Center in Charlotte for many years.
Vivian is survived by a son, Russel Sprehe, and wife Terrie, of Morganton; two grandsons, Chad Sprehe of Morganton and Brett Sprehe, and wife Sierra of Raleigh; and a great-granddaughter, Madelyn Jean Sprehe of Morganton.
The family will greet friends from 4-6 p.m., Monday, April 20, 2026, at Sossoman Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests any memorials be made to the National Audobon Society (Audobon.org).
Sossoman Funeral Home and Crematory Center is assisting the family with the arrangements. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.sossomanfh.com.
