Sister Vivian Diana Vaccari | 92

Sister Vivian Vaccari is a nun and lives in an assisted living community with other nuns (including Rosemary McKean, who we also talked to). She uses oxygen for a lung condition and a wheelchair for mobility. Her parents were from Italy and she is a first generation American. She loves the progressiveness of San Francisco and that technology kept her connected to family during the most isolating parts of the pandemic.
