Vivian Margaret (Cambier) Ganze
Newark: Vivian entered into eternal rest peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on December 13, 2025, at the age of 88.
She was predeceased by her parents: Stanley and Louise Cambier; her daughter, Joy Ganze; and her son, Phillip Ganze.
Vivian was born on December 17, 1936, to the late Stanley and Louise Cambier in Marion, NY. She was a 1955 graduate of the Marion Central School District and went on to further her education through the Genesee Hospital Nursing Program, earning her Registered Nurse degree. Vivian dedicated many years of service to Newark Wayne Community Hospital, where she provided compassionate, attentive care to her patients. Nursing was truly her calling and a profession she deeply loved.
Outside of her nursing career, Vivian enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and knitting. While she never claimed a signature dish, she was known as a wonderful cook. Her faith played an important role in her life, and she faithfully served her church by playing the organ for more than 20 years. Above all, Vivian cherished time spent with her family.
She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 68 years, Ronald Ganze; her children, Ian Ganze, Donna (Jim) Murphy, and Peter (Eileen) Ganze; daughter-in-law, Kelley Ganze; her grandchildren, Nicolas (Jaryn) Abdallah, Amber Bragg, Lucas (Ellie) Bragg, Jessica (Tony) Pecoraro, Kristen (Joe) Sullivan, Allison (Doug) Dooner, Ali Barner, and Tori Barner; 13 great-grandchildren; and her sister, Chris (Don) Collier.
A celebration of Vivian’s life will be held on (Thursday) December 18, 2025, at 1pm at Sodus Bible Baptist Church, 6181 Ridge Road, Sodus, NY 14551. Private burial will take place in Marion Cemetery.
