Dorothy M. Viviano

Dorothy M. Viviano, a vibrant spirit who filled the world with her warmth and wisdom, departed from this life on February 6, 2025, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of many. Born on January 2, 1956, Dorothy was a pillar of strength and a beacon of compassion, known for her outspoken nature and unwavering will. Her generous heart and empathetic spirit made her beloved among family and friends, who will fondly remember her as one of a kind.

Dorothy had a talent for storytelling that captivated all who were fortunate to share in her company. With an endless reservoir of wisdom, she imparted lessons drawn from her own life experiences, often enlivening conversations with tales peppered with humor and insight. There was never a dull moment in her presence; she enriched lives simply by being herself.

Her love for family was boundless. Dorothy delighted in gathering her loved ones around her table, where she prepared meals filled with love and a dash of culinary magic. Her kitchen was a haven of warmth and comfort, and it was there that she shared not only food but cherished memories, laughter, and heartfelt conversations. Her passion for life extended to moments spent watching soap operas, fully engrossed in the narratives just as she was in the lives of those she adored.

Dorothy leaves behind her cherished children, Amanda Garcia and Tony Viviano, alongside her adored grandchildren: Isabella Garcia, Mauricio Garcia, Adrian Olvera, Cameron Viviano, and Cheyenne Viviano. They were the jewels in her crown, and she basked in their successes and joys, ever proud and supportive.

She is survived by her brothers, Johnny Gibson and Paul Viviano, who, like the rest of her family, carry with them the legacy of her love and strength.

Dorothy reunited in spirit with her beloved parents, Clara Gibson and Tony Viviano, and her siblings, Bobby Viviano, Toni Roberts, Billy Viviano, Nick Viviano, Susan Viviano, and Phyllis Belknap. Together they will continue to weave their tales among the stars.

In remembrance of Dorothy M. Viviano, we celebrate a life lived fully, fiercely loved, and imbued with the kind of goodness that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Though she has left this mortal realm, her spirit, wisdom, and kindness will forever echo in the stories shared, the meals prepared, and the love that binds her family and friends together.
