Vivian was a homebody who loved to bake, she was always cooking and baking. She also loved to crochet and make crafts with her grandkids. She always said that if she could have had the grandkids first she would have.

Christmas was her favorite holiday she loved all the decorations, the tree, the lights and she would make dozens and dozens of Christmas cookies and also delicious homemade cannolis.

She was a devoted mother who made handmade homemade chocolates for her children for Easter and one of her Easter specialties were her handmade sugar eggs that had a diaorama inside.

A family favorite of Vivians’ was her Lasagne, with Salsiccia (Italian Sausage) and homemade meatballs that she let boil all day, filling the house with a wonderful aroma.

Vivian used to leave the doors open and sing her children to sleep at night. She was a wonderful woman with a heart for her family and will be dearly missed.
