Vivian Carmela Fuhlbrugge, 86, died Saturday at the Green Ridge Skilled Nursing Facility, Scranton. Her husband of 49 years is Wally Fuhlbrugge.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 16, 1929, daughter of the late Joseph and Theresa Izzi, Vivian was a graduate of Andrew Jackson High School in Queens, N.Y., class of 1947. She later worked as a dietitian for the Good Samaritan Hospital in Babylon, N.Y., for a period of eight years. Before retirement, she was employed as a bookkeeper for a bank in Pompton Lakes, N.J., where she and her family also resided. Upon retirement, she and her family moved to Wallenpaupack Lake Estates in Ledgedale.
