    January 5, 1940 - September 4, 2021

    VIVIAN LOUISE RUSSOE, age 80, departed this life peacefully at home on September 04, 2021, of natural causes. She was born January 5, 1941 in Winston Salem, North Carolina to the late Thelma Mullins. She married Johnston James Russoe who was originally from Dallas, Texas in 1970. He preceded her in death in 2008. She was also loved and cherished by her longtime friend the late William Barnett. Vivian moved to Baltimore, MD in 1943 with her mother and sister, Mary. She graduated from Dunbar High School in 1959. After graduation she attended the Community College of Baltimore where she received her Associate’s degree in Human Services. One of her first jobs was at Spring Grove State Hospital where she met her late husband.
