ROSSI, Vivian Audrey (nee McCauley) - Vivian Audrey Rossi (nee McCauley) of Newmarket escaped this mortal realm on April 20, 2021 at the grand old age of 97.
She is looking toward a reunion with family and friends that she has not seen in a long time, and hoping to find the answers to some of life’s mysteries.
Vivian was born to the late Lena and Thomas McCauley in 1924, in Garson Mines (near Sudbury) Ontario. Due to the unexpected death of her father, Vivian was brought to the care of an Orphanage at a young age. Once Lena remarried, Vivian was brought home and cared for by her mother Lena and step-father Mike Kushner.
After dating during the war years, she married Joseph Armand Rossi in 1948, and moved to North York. Sadly and unexpectedly her loving husband Joseph passed away in 1976. Happily, they are now reunited.
