Viviane Adele Henriette Glover, 101, of Cleveland, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022.
Viviane was born to Francois and Julie Salas Butoli in Oran, Algeria, North Africa.
Her father worked for the government and Viviane became a teacher. She caught the eye of a young Porter Glover from Cleveland, having met when he was stationed in Northern Africa in the US Army during WWII. Viviane and Porter were married, and Porter went on with his duties as an American soldier.
Viviane boarded a ship with other War Brides first to New York, then to Atlanta and Gainesville by train. Upon her arrival to the United States,Viviane learned to adjust to American life and her knowledge of foreign languages would prove beneficial. She was approached by the founders and became the first foreign language teacher at Truett McConnell College, as the institution could not get accreditation without a foreign language program, where Viviane taught French and Spanish. She was also hired by the White County School System as a foreign language teacher.
Viviane enrolled at the University of Georgia with several teachers from Cleveland and received her Masters in Education, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She enjoyed Travel, knitting (having knitted over 600 Christmas Stockings across all of White County and abroad), crochet, sewing, painting and spending quality time with her children. She was preceded in death by her husband, JP Porter Glover in 1987.
Survivors include daughter, Cathy Glover of Decatur; son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Shirley Glover of Canton, North Carolina; son, Jim Glover of Madison; granddaughters, Julie and Kristen Glover; great-grandson, Elliott Glover.
