She was raised in a Catholic household
Before she was known as Vivian Liberto Cash, she was Vivian Dorraine Liberto.
Her mother gave birth to her on April 23, 1934, in San Antonio, Texas. She was raised by her parents, Irene Robinson Liberto (1913–1979) and Thomas Peter Liberto(1905–1971), a devout Catholic.
Vivian grew up in a Catholic household alongside her brother Raymond Alvin Liberto (1932–2008). Her father’s strict way of following his religion would later take a toll on Vivian upon the ending of her marriage to Johnny Cash.
