Viviana D. Ruscitto
1971 - 2015
Class of 1989
Faithful and loyal, our fierce friend Viviana Ruscitto was taken from us too early. Her spirit lives on eternally and in our hearts forever.
On September 3, 2015, the Nyack High School Class of '89 lost a very special classmate. Viviana Ruscitto was quick witted and had an infectious smile and laugh that is truly missed by her friends and family. After graduating from NHS, VIviana went on to pursue a career in Radiology and earned her Bachelors and MBA from Nyack College. She earned the credentials of RT & CRA and became the Director of Diagnostic Imaging at WestMED Medical Group. Viviana was an active member of AHRA the association for medical imaging management and was on the board and a founding member of AHRA Northeast Group. She was also a published radiology author. However, Viviana's greatest and proudest accomplishment was becoming a mother to her beloved son, Maximo. Viviana lived a life that not only deeply touched, but also widely enhanced, many lives.
To honor Viviana and everything she meant to us, we are raising money in her name for a memorial within the project being created at the new high school by the Nyack Tower Fund. Depending on how much is raised, we will sponsor a memorial plaque or bench for VIviana with her name and picture on it at the new Nyack High School.
Please use this page to donate in honor of Viviana. The Nyack Tower
Fund will combine all of our gifts to maximize the recognition item we
get (brick, plaque, bench, etc.) but by using this page, your
individual gift will be 100% tax deductible to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
Additionally, Dan Berkowitz, ('88) President of
the Nyack Fund, has also offered anyone who contributes at least $250
in honor of Viviana, their own personal brick as well. So if you were
planning on giving a donation for a $250 brick, you will still get
your $250 brick, and the entirety of your donation will go to
Viviana's memorial.
Our deadline for donations in Viviana's name is March 13th, so please make a gift today and feel free to reach out to Dan (917-826-0850) or Danberkowitz12@gmail.com with any questions regarding the Nyack Tower Fund.
Thank
you in advance for your generosity, and please feel free to share this
on your Facebook wall for other friends and colleagues of Viviana to see.
