Description:

VIVIAN B. HUNTER GRIGSBY, RN – 1912 – 1987. We will miss Cousin Vivian, always a faithful member of our Pow Wow Committee, on which she served as Director of the First Aid Program and Office. After serving in the U.S. Army as a 2nd Lieutenant, she spent many years as a nurse on staff at Central Suffolk Hospital. During her retirement Mrs. Grigsby served as Visiting Nurse for the Senior Citizens of the Shinnecock Reservation. She will be remembered for a life of devotion and loving cooperation with her family and tribe.
