Vivian Rosati

Hopewell Junction - Vivian E. Rosati, 54, an area resident since 1964, died on December 22, 2018 following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in the Bronx on March 19, 1964, she was the daughter of the late James and Helen Rosati. Vivian had worked at Stop & Shop for many years. She started her career as a cashier, then went on to be a bakery assistant and bookkeeper. She also worked with testing and teaching of new hires in both Wappingers Falls and Somers.

Vivian was a parishioner of St. Columba Church. Vivian and her sister Diane became local legends as some of the Hudson Valley Renegades biggest fans, the "Hansen Sisters." As season ticket holders for many years, they never missed a game from their seats behind home plate, dressed in their Gades gear and cheering on their team with their raccoons in hand. She was also a big WWF and WWE fan, and a friend of Vince McMahon. Vivian loved the NY Yankees and all animals but especially cats, and since her diagnosis, completed several Breast Cancer Walks.

Vivian is survived by her sister Diane Rosati; and several cousins. In addition to her parents, she was also predeceased by her sisters, Christine A. Rosati in 1996 and Linda Mae Rosati Quarto in 2010.

Calling hours will be held on Wednesday from 5-7pm at the McHoul Funeral Home, Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction. The Mass of Christian Burial will be offered on Thursday at 10:30am at St. Columba Church, 835 Route 82, Hopewell Junction followed by interment in St. Denis Cemetery.
