Vivian Rosalyn Bromberg's Obituary
Vivian Rosalyn Bromberg was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on September 12, 1963. She lived a short but vibrant life. She would fight bullies on the playground who picked on her for her height, making her tough at a young age. She excelled in school, to the point where her father asked if the teachers were sure they were talking about his Vivian and not some other Vivian. She was fiercely independent, walking the streets of Toronto while still in grade school to have cereal at home while she watched television during lunchtime. Vivian was so stubbornly independent that she could not be tied to Canada, especially when she fell in love. She went to college at Connecticut Central State University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and received a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. She got married, had a child, Shane, finished her immigration paperwork to become a US citizen, and then had another child, Danielle. Vivian’s professional life had many hats; she turned from computer science to homemaker, then to landlady, and even to customer service representative at Publix. However, work was not what defined Vivian. She would rather be remembered by how she enjoyed mornings having coffee with her friends, afternoons at the pool, dinners at her favorite restaurants, and evenings playing (and winning) at card games– where she could shuffle until the cards practically caught fire. Sadly, it was a life of simple pleasures that was cut too short when she developed Stage 4 cancer. Vivian chose to live her final days in hospice care at Memorial South in Hollywood, Florida, where she passed peacefully on the morning of September 23, 2022 at age 59. She is survived by her mother, Agnes Whitehouse of Pembroke Pines, FL; father, Istvan Kuti of Toronto, ON; husband, Louis Bromberg of Latham, NY; and devoted children: Shane Bromberg-Bodie of Schenectady, NY and Danielle Bromberg of New York, New York. We will all miss her presence, but we will continue to love and cherish the memories we made with her even now that she has gone. Donations in her memory should be contributed to the Jewish National Fund (JNF) to plant trees in Israel.
