Former Palisadian and 1970 Citizen of the Year Vivian Braun passed away on June 9 in Santa Barbara. She was 87. Born and raised on the North Shore of Chicago, Vivian graduated from the University of Chicago with a degree in business. She and her husband, the late Ernest Braun, moved to California in 1956, and lived in the Palisades for 47 years. She was an extraordinary community volunteer, and honored for her work with the Palisades-Brentwood hotline with the Citizen of the Year award. In 2004, she moved to Santa Barbara to be with her daughter, and enjoyed new friendships at the Maravilla Seniors community and Congregation B’nai B’rith. A longer obituary will appear in the Palisadian-Post next week. Donations may be made in her memory to Congregation B’nai B’rith or the Breast Resource Center of Santa Barbara.
