Vivian T. Haddad, of Newington, CT., our angel, passed away on Tuesday, February 9th at the age of 83. Born in Springfield, MA on November 24, 1932, she was the beloved daughter of the late William and Eva Haddad of Worcester, MA. Vivian resided in Berlin for many years before moving to Newington, where she made her home with her sister Dolores and brother in law Joseph Gustin.

Viv loved her family, and her happiest times were spent helping others. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her dedication to her ailing brother was to be admired by all around her. She leaves behind a wonderful family who loved her more than words can express. She was predeceased by her brother Albert E. Haddad, of New Britain. She is survived by her brother Thomas Haddad of Worcester, MA, her sister and brother in law Dolores and Joseph Gustin of Newington, CT, and her sister Loretta Kallil of Toledo, Ohio.
