Vivian Lazzaro

Memorial

We will remember Vivian as a generous, vivacious, strong, no-nonsense woman who loved travelling, dancing, cooking, gardening, and spending time with those she loved. She died peacefully in her sleep and we were by her side. Since Vivian was unable to speak for the last 6 months of her life, she ended up using a lot of hand signals to communicate with us. For those of you who are her dance friends, we'll mention that, as she was drifting off to sleep that night, she made the hand signal for dance. We hope that m eans that she died dreaming about dancing with you all. Family was very important to her and she was a wonderful mother to us. She will be greatly missed and forever loved.

This is Tom Lazzaro, Vivian's Cousin. I wanted to write something since I won't be able to attend this afternoon. I have such fond memories of frequent visits to Uncle Joe and Aunt Marie's as a youth...eating way too much. And Vivian was a part of those encounters. As years passed we visited her and Mike in PA for special occasions (typically for you both) and tried to keep in touch as best we could! She visited me recently in Tennessee (2017?) and spent the entire day at our house laughing and catching up. I'll never forget how genuine and kind and proud she was. Truly Happy. She made the most of her time with us. Always celebrate the wonderful mother and person she was, and always will be. Love to you all. Tom

From Donna & Jim: "Vivian was a beautiful person and a wonderful dancer who graced our Argentine Tango dance floors at Collegeville, Pottstown and Ardmore. She also introduced me to Jackie and Roberto's Secret Tango Garden (with the tree growing through the dance floor and roof!) What a sweet spot. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Vivian, her lovely smile and good nature made all who knew her happy to be her friend." Donna "I met Vivian at the Collegeville Tango. Graceful not only in the dance but also in her spirit. I will remember her fondly." Jim M

Vivian had tremendous strength, compassion, intelligence and a sense of purpose that guided her and her loved ones through life. I will always think of her as teacher whose classroom extended to all she knew.

My heart smiles when I think of Vivian and the friendship we shared for almost 44 years. So many happy memories made together with my strong, intelligent, insightful, caring, beautiful dear friend. May her memory forever be a blessing.
