Vivian Pecor

Vivian “Viv” Lee (Deforge) Pecor

May 16, 1952 – November 5, 2026

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and Meme, Vivian “Viv” Lee (Deforge) Pecor, on November 5, 2026. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she has been reunited with the love of her life.

Vivian’s greatest legacy is the family she loved so dearly. She leaves behind her three daughters, Rhonda, Shelly and her partner Jon, and Sara and her husband Joe; her bonus son, Donald Santor and his partner Cyndi; and her beloved grandchildren, Michael, Gabriella, Isabella, Blake, Landon, Justin, and Tyler. She also leaves behind her loving mother, Nancy; six siblings, George, her very special sister Nancy “Doll” Hayes, Jack and Patty, Stephen, Kincaid and Debbie, and Robin; her special nephew, John “Johnny” Hayes; along with many cherished nieces and nephews.

Vivian was born on May 16, 1952, in Burlington, Vermont, to George and Nancy (Arruzza) Deforge.

Viv’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. She treasured her daily visits with her mom, Nancy; hosting holiday gatherings; trips to Massachusetts to see the twins and grandchildren; morning coffee with George; early morning visits with Doll; time with Steve; antiquing and lunches with Rhonda; and FaceTiming with her grandchildren. It never mattered how long the visit lasted—she was simply happiest when surrounded by the people she loved.

Viv was devoted to her family and worked endlessly to create a home filled with love, laughter, and special memories that would last a lifetime. She and her beloved husband, Donald “John,” shared 40 years together, raising their three daughters on Middle Road in Milton. Together, they built a life centered on family, creating a home filled with love, happiness, and memories that will be treasured forever. Vivian was predeceased by John, and we find comfort in knowing they are reunited.

Her love for her family was endless, and the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
