Vivian Gifford, died May 2016 Yuba City California , Is there an obituary ?
« on: Friday 30 September 16 07:03 BST (UK) »
Vivian Gifford was 94 yeas old when she passed in May this year (2016). She died in Yuba City near Sacramento California and was buried in the Salvation army plot at Cypress Lawns , San Mateo near San Francisco.  Vivian was my second cousin once removed and her mother was born in Abernant South Wales. Vivian was born in  Aurora Illinois  Can anyone find an obituary for this dear old lady. I would be very grateful.

There's a death notice referenced here with the newspaper and date it was printed.  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=164647280&ref=acom

Well, one may not exist.  I searched the archives of the newspaper that printed the death notice I mentioned above - http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/appealdemocrat/obituary-search.aspx?isnew=1&affiliateid=2175&stateid=7  All I found was that death notice.

You could try contacting the library of the town where she lived and see if they will do a look-up.
