Sandra B. Viviano

Sandra Brooslin Viviano, 63, beloved wife of Ralph L. Viviano, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2019 with family by her side. 

Born and raised in Springfield, MA, Sandra was the daughter of Shirley (Lipman) Brooslin and the late Milton Brooslin. A graduate of Classical High School, she furthered her education, earning a BS from the University of Massachusetts.

She had a passion for fashion, haute cuisine, travel, Broadway, art and culture. Sandra embodied elegance and sophistication, had an irreplaceable presence and an unmistakable laugh. Genuine and welcoming, she was a natural hostess and known for her vibrant and generous character. She was also very active within the Colleton River Club community.

Together for 35 years, Ralph & Sandra enjoyed a loving marriage and with his unconditional care and support, Sandra handled her ALS diagnosis with grace and dignity.

Along with her husband, she also leaves her mother; sister, Barb Brooslin, and brother-in-law, Tom Noune; sister, Sharon Chesley; children, Ralph Viviano III, Gina Viviano, Anna (Viviano) Mailloux; son-in-laws, Ben Galioto and David Mailloux; and five grandchildren, Luca and Mateo Viviano, Julianna and Angelina Galioto, and Mason Mailloux, nieces Sarah and Jennifer Chesley as well as extended family and many friends.
