Aug.10, 1944 — Sept. 1, 2021 (age 77)

WARREN — Vivi Camelli, 77, passed away Wednesday morning (Sept. 1) at the Hospice House in Poland.

Vivi was born Aug. 10, 1944 in Chios, Greece, the daughter of Bill and Despina (Koutsounadis) Kalogeras.

Vivi and her family came to Warren in 1955. She was a 1964 graduate of Warren Harding High School and became a U.S. citizen in 1966.

Vivi graduated from cosmetology school and was a skilled cosmetologist for many years.

After 30 years of service, she retired from Packard Electric.

In addition to her work career and being a proud homemaker, Vivi was an excellent gardener and fabulous cook – making all homemade meals and passing recipes down to younger generations.

She liked working on jumbo puzzles and going out to eat with her family.

Her greatest love was spending quality time with those dearest to her, especially her grandchildren. Vivi was one of a kind and touched everyone's life who knew and loved her. She was an angel on Earth and will be profoundly missed.

Vivi is survived by her husband of 54 years, Gino Camelli; her children, Mark (Tammy) Camelli, Gina (Michael) Vacha and Dr. Andre (Dr. Kristina) Camelli; grandchildren Dominic Camelli, Alec Camelli, Natalie Camelli, Elena Camelli, Luka Camelli and Alexis Terlecky; and many cousins and friends.

In addition to her parents, Vivi was preceded in death by her brother, Tom (Zoro) Kalogeras.
