Vivian S. Lessard (Goss), 95, of Cicero, NY passed away peacefully on June 19,2025. Vivian was born on January 8, 1930 in Lincoln, NH. She loved working at The Mountain View Resort in NH, and often spoke of the fond memories and people she met serving as a waitress and hostess.

Vivian was a devoted wife, mom and grandma and she loved spending time with family. She enjoyed going to the local craft shows searching for crafts and decorations to fill her house with for every holiday and change of season. She loved clothes shopping, especially for her young grandchildren and always had a gift box overfilled for their birthday and Christmas. She will be missed by her loving family.
