She is the patron saint of throats because she loved to sing and was a musician. In her late thirties, she was diagnosed with throat cancer that prevented her from singing. This did not stop her from being an amazing person, though. She learned sign language and become a lyricist. She wrote lyrics for Christian bands so that she can still praise the Lord. She continued writing lyrics and creating music. Close to her late forties, she stopped writing lyrics and creating music. Instead, she decided to dedicate her whole life to God by going to mass everyday, praying every morning and night, and decided to travel. She wanted to travel so she can spread the word of God to everyone.

She was raised in the state of Florida, living with both of her parents and her big brother. When she was about 4 or 5, she developed a liking towards music and singing. At the age of 6, she started playing the piano and quit when she finished the 7th grade. In her first year of high school, she made a friend who played the guitar and decided that she would learn how to play. Her friend taught her how to play, but moved to Ohio, so she learned on her own. During high school, she joined choir and eventually joined band. Instead of playing the guitar, she learned how to play the violin and decided to stick with that. After she graduated high school she enrolled into a performing arts college and got her degree in music.

St. Vivi became a saint because she dedicated most of her time volunteering, praying, and going to mass. She wanted to please God and to achieve that, she did all of those good deeds. When she was younger, her dad and her went to pray on Saturdays, so she developed a habit of praying a lot. Donating clothes, food, and money was another reason why she was selected as a saint. She wasn't as rich as others, but still donated to those who are in need. St. Vivi really enjoyed traveling and spreading the word of God. So when you put those two together, it makes her really happy. After she quit music, she decided to do missionary work and died a few years after she was diagnosed with throat cancer.
