Vivian Dominguez

July 6, 1943 - September 6, 2025

Vivian Dominguez, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2025 at the age of 82.

Born on July 6, 1943 in Preston, Cuba, Vivian made the courageous decision to leave her homeland in pursuit of a better life for her family - a journey that reflected her strength, determination, and selflessness. She built a life grounded in unwavering and unconditional love.

Vivian worked for many years at Royal Insurance Company, where she was known for her professionalism, warmth, and dedication. Her proudest role, however, was that of mother and grandmother. Everything she did was wrapped with love from the way she cared for her family to the many selfless acts that defined her daily life. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter, and unconditional support.

Vivian was a kind and generous woman who gave freely to numerous charities and was always willing to help those in need. Her legacy is one of compassion, humility, and quiet strength; the kind of love that speaks through actions more than words. As she always said, "Don't tell me you love me - show me."

Vivian is survived by her devoted husband of 62 years, Joaquin; her loving children Jose and Nina and their spouses Ena and Marc; her cherished grandchildren Eric, Christina, Michael, Sara and husband Zack, and Joseph. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

In respect of Vivian's wishes, she will be privately cremated. In honor of her life and generous spirit, the family invites donations to one of her favorite charities, St. Jude's, in lieu of flowers.
