Vivien Wallis

I was sad to learn about Vivien's passing. I first met my cousin Vivine during Open Week of the Centenary year at the Island Golf Club. She had a fabulous golf game and the requisite sense of humour that goes along with the game. I enjoyed our visit when she joined us in Canada for a home at home week. I hope tee times are plentiful in heaven! She is missed.

Sincere sympathy to Vivian's many golfing friends. We had lots of fun both on and off the golf course. Rest in peace Vivien.

I have so many fond memories of playing piano accompanying Vivien over the years in many a Captains night and several pantomimes in Castle. I smiled when the requiem hymns were accompanied on electronic keyboards. May she find her just reward in heaven. Rest in Peace Viv.

Vivian.to sleep perchance to dream.golf is proud of you. Your friend Brian has told me about you.

Many happy memories of playing bridge with Vivien. Always delighted with a win. A great competitor. May she rest in peace.

Vivien really was part of the furniture in Castle Golf Club and was sadly missed around the clubhouse and course when her health necessitated her move to Orwell.

I enjoyed many years of competitive Sunday golf and subsequent G&T's with her and always enjoyed the rare occasions I won the money from her. It was fun to be paired with her and if you happened to be playing well a treat to be told "well done lass" especially if you helped her win the money! Buster Wallis was also a regular feature on a Sunday in the Car Park and he brought her so much joy.

She lived her life well. Rest in Peace Viv.

On behalf of all the staff at Orwell Healthcare we would like to offer you and your family our sincerest sympathy on the recent passing of Vivien

Vivien is remembered in our prayers at mass here at Orwell Healthcare.

With fond memories of happy times playing with LLA over the years.
Rest In Peace Vivien.

My Deepest Condolences to all who had the pleasure of getting to know Vivien and spending time with her both on and off the course. We were lucky enough to have gone on many golfing trips over the years, and I smile now as I remember the fun and laughter, care and kindness, G&T's, and her fabulous sense of direction. May she rest in peace.

Such fond memories of Vivien over the years. She was one of life's great characters. She took me and my sister Frances 'under her wing', in the early 70s, when we played alongside her as 'newbies', in the Leinster Ladies Alliance. Vivien often ferried us to and from matches, was such great fun to be with, and was a fine golfer and fierce competitor. Our paths again crossed in 1986 when I joined the Island Golf Club. Vivien was then an esteemed member and former Lady Captain but was more (in) famous for her hilarious, burlesque and witty renditions which would bring the house down on Lady Captain's nights. We crossed paths again in 2016 when I joined the Castle GC. Vivien was still enjoying the cards and her G&Ts and winning at the Bridge table. She will be sadly missed for her great sense of humour, that unforgettable laugh, her intelligence, charm, keen wit, as well as for her enormous contribution to both the Island and Castle golf clubs. Sincere condolences to her family, neighbours, and her dear Golf and Bridge friends. Rest peacefully Vivien. Patricia and Frances

It is with great sadness that I learn of the death of Vivien RIP
I send my sincere condolences to her family and her wide circle of friends in golf.
Her family has had a unique association with The Island going back to 1890 when her grandfather was one of the founding members.
Rest in peace Vivien. You will be remembered with great respect and fondness.

Our sincere sympathies are extended to Vivien's family and friends at this sad time.

So many great memories of Vivien playing with, and against her, at the bridge table. We also shared birthdays in early September. We have greatly missed her presence at the bridge table these past few years. May she rest in peace.

Vivian loved her golf and is so much a part of the history of The Island Golf Club .
Vivian lit up my night at the show for my Lady Captain’s dinner in 1985 with that stunning performance of Tarzan

A great Castle GC member and an inspiration to all aspiring Bridge players. Always enjoyed Vivien’s quick wit and gentle encouragement. Rest in Peace Vivien.

Sincere sympathy to Vivien's family and friends who will greatly miss her. Vivien was a founder member and past president of the RDS Bridge Club and a very keen player. May she rest in peace.

I enjoyed many a good holiday with Vivien and friends. She loved to swim. In the days of the Lady Captains after dinner show Vivien was a star turn. Many sympathies to her family and friends.

I knew Vivien for many years, through the RDS Bridge Club - where she won many competitions.....Always a most interesting person.

Our deepest sympathies to Vivien’s family, from her neighbours on Merlyn Park. We grew up across the road from “Mrs Wallis’s house”. As very young children, myself and my three sisters were sometimes invited in by Vivienne and Meriel for soft drinks and biscuits, in their fine drawing room. Vivienne was always kindly and gracious to us, and she is fondly remembered. May she rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Vivien's friends and family
I have lots of great memories
May her soul rest in peace

Dear Vivien, thank you for the encouragement when we took up the game in the 80s. You were amazing support. As we progressed and the handicaps fell you were there with details of the Leinster Ladies Alliance. Oh what great fun on a cold frosty Sunday morning as we sought to terrorize the men of Leinster!! It was the ultimate way of keeping the game together over winter. So thank you Vivien..a legend in Irish Ladies Golf. God Bless. Now based in UK I will pitch up to Frilford Heath and join your Mass online and give Thanks for knowing you. Rest in Peace and may God hold you in the palm of his hand until we meet again

Deepest sympathy to all of Vivien's family, friends and neighbours. Vivien was a gentle kind lady, our past lady captain, a great golfer and a wonderful bridge player.

We will all miss Vivien; May she Rest in Peace

My deepest condolences to all Vivien’s family and friends.
Vivien was a wonderful lady and member of The Island, I had many dealings with her during my tenure as an officer of the Club and Vivien was always a very positive, progressive and friendly person to work with during that period.
May she now rest in eternal peace.
