Vivian loved traveling, cruise ships and especially shopping. Vivian loved her dog Kelly and
spoke of her often. Later in life, she enjoyed visits from her great granddog, Copper, who she
spent a great deal of time with. Vivian loved to paint, bird watch and spend time at the beach.
Vivian was predeceased by her husband, Martin Gallagher, brother Charlie Granelli, sisters
Deloris Demaio and Marie Jamieson, her grandson Christopher Nilsen, and her dear friend Frank
Gaccione.

So very very sorry to hear about Vivian`s passing. She was a very special lady in all of our lives. She made me smile and laugh from the time she worked at Randall art when I met her until the last time we saw her in Florida. God bless all of you
