Vivian Singleton Conway, SC - Vivian Spencer Singleton, a life-long resident of Conway, South Carolina and wife of the late Ronald Earl Singleton, passed peacefully on Wednesday, June 22, 2022 in Charleston, South Carolina.

She was predeceased by her parents; husband; a son, Hugh David Singleton; a sister, Mary Francis Reed; and half-siblings, Lavada Altman, Macy Stephens, Mack Stevens, Heyward Stevens, Don Stevens, and Hollis Stevens. Inspired by her love of nature and passion for flowers, she was a member of the Conway Garden Club, and, with her son, David, spear-headed the effort to plant the beautiful azaleas at Conway High School during his freshman year as a student there. Other civic accomplishments included playing a pivotal role in the annexation of Quattlebaum Acres within the city limits of Conway garnering her the nickname, "Mayor of Quattlebaum Acres."
