Vivian Anne Perry Williamson, 58, of Morganton, NC, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
Born in Burke County, NC on October 13, 1966, she was the daughter of Stephen Marler Perry and the late Linda Davis Perry.
Vivian was a member of Smyrna Baptist Church. She loved spending time with her family and her dogs. You could find her on a rainy day with a good book or watching old westerns with her dad. Vivian married her high school sweetheart and now, 34 years later, they are finally reunited.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughters, Sierra Sprehe (Brett) and Kelsey Williamson (Andrew); sisters, Karen Perry Coleman (Dean) and Stephanie Perry Smith (Stephen); niece, Deanna Puckett (Michael); nephews, D.J. Coleman (Lauren) and Hunter Smith (Lilli); niece, Katelyn Smith (Aaron); and great-nieces and nephews, Adelyn Puckett, Liberty Brown, and Landyn Brown.
In addition to her mother, Vivian was preceded in death by her first husband, Darren Clarke.
The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m., Sunday, September 28, 2025 at Sossoman Funeral Home. A private graveside service will be held at Smyrna Baptist Church Cemetery with Rev. Brandon Collins officiating.
The family would like to thank the staff of College Pines Nursing and Rehabilitation and Amorem Hospice for the compassionate care shown to Vivian.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Amorem Hospice (amoremsupport.org/donate).
Sossoman Funeral Home and Crematory Center is assisting the family with the arrangements.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to know Vivian. She was loved and will be missed by many. Sending love to you all during this difficult time.
I have fond memories of 'Doodles' from our childhood days, especially riding the same bus route together. She was a joy to be around. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family—losing a loved one is never easy. May our heavenly Father bring comfort and peace to all who loved her.
So sorry to hear of Doodles passing. We were the the best of friends in high school and early college. Then adult life took over and we saw each other at a couple reunions here and there. Life is truely short and to be cherished and I pray her family has some beautiful memories to hang onto when you need them the most. I have some of mine as well. Love and prayers to her whole family.
Love you guys!
Vivian was loved by all she met. She will be dearly missed. Praying for all the family. In lieu of flowers we have donated to Amorem upon your request.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family. She was so friendly in School.
I am so sorry to hear about Vivian (Doodles to me). Even though I haven’t seen her in years, I remember her as so sweet and spunky, just like her precious Mama. My sincere condolences go out to the family and my prayer is for comfort and peace to you all.
I was sad to hear about my friend. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all the family ❤🙏
