Vivian Louise Pearson's Obituary
Vivian Louise (Metcalfe) Pearson, a cherished mother and grandmother, passed away on Thursday, April 2, 2026.
She was truly a one-of-a-kind woman, who never met a stranger. Originally born in Charleston, MS, on March 7, 1949, Vivian spent her later years in New Orleans, where she retired as a taxi cab driver.
In her retirement, Vivian spent her time exploring New Orleans, taking beach trips to Florida, chasing jackpots at the casino, and enjoying a good Chinese buffet.
She is survived by her brother Daniel Pearson, her children, William Metcalfe, James Metcalfe, Jeanie Metcalfe, and Tracey Metcalfe; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Evelyn Young Pearson and Benjamin Pearson, and her sister, Dianne Pearson; her grandson, B.J. Metcalfe; and her great-granddaughter, Nanette Metcalfe.
Vivian will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A special thank you to the caregivers at UMC and The Sanctuary at Passages Hospice for the compassionate care and comfort they provided during her final days.
In accordance with her wishes, all funeral services will be private.
