Vivien Rosina (Aladjem) Mudgett passed on November 5, 2017. Surrounded by family, Vivien's battle ended and she has joined the angels in Heaven.
An avid learner, she attended many schools – from Cleveland Heights HS to Rutgers University – fulfilling her passion for education and her love of nursing. She was still actively working to complete her Doctorate in Nursing Practice at the time of her passing.
Vivien had an incredible gift for bringing people together. Her kindness and positivity brought light to every room she entered. Her family and lifelong friends take comfort in knowing her memory will live on in all those who had the privilege in meeting, laughing with, and being loved by Vivien.
She was proceeded in death by her grandparents and her mother, Sonia (Goldberg) Aladjem.
Vivien is survived by her father Silvio Aladjem; her devoted husband of 20 years, Ron; her children: Edward and Sara Mudgett, Rhonda and Jeremy Belcher, Heather and Andy Ihrig, Tiffany Gleason and Corey Doxtader, Kate Mudgett, and Jake Mudgett; her five grandchildren, Truen, Elijah, Jedrek, Alison, and Annabell; her brother Norm (Laura) Aladjem; her nieces, Mackenzie, Heather, and Jamie; and her countless friends.
The family held a private graveside service and are planning to honor Vivien's life with a celebration of life to come in the spring of 2018.
