Honoring Vivian

Vivian Ackerman Brooks, RPT

It is with heavy hearts, but immense gratitude, that we share the passing of our founder and matriarch, Vivian Brooks, RPT.

From the moment she and Wally opened our doors in 1980, Vivian was the steady hand and the visionary spirit of Brooks LTD. While we mourn her loss, we are so moved by the 45 years of music and friendship she helped create.

Help us build her legacy.

We invite you to share a story, a photo, or a simple note of thanks for the woman who started it all. Your memories will be posted to Vivian's Wall of Gratitude on our website and shared with the Brooks family at her Celebration of Life on

May 17th, 2026. We hope you'll join us.
