I would laugh and save the death notice from the obituary in the newspaper.
Somebody who did something really bad to me when I was a child died several years ago, and I have kept the obituary. I often had thoughts of killing this person, in ways that were really cruel, painful, gruesome and (when I was thinking that way) extremely imaginative and amusing.
When I saw that he had died, I was very upset, for a long time. I say "upset" because I don't know what the emotion was - grief, released anger, deep sorrow, I have no idea. There was no relief, no happiness, no positive emotion of any kind at his death - but I did stop feeling bad about the thing he had done to me, over time.
For me it would be more of a trophy because I out lived someone who most likely wished me dead. There would be tons of gloating.
I once bumped into someone I went to high school with who was not a bully but he did treat me like an idiot a few times back in school to make his buddies laugh. When he saw me after 22 years he could not believe how young I looked while he was graying at the temples and had plenty of lines on his face. He had the balls to ask me if I was so stupid I forgot to age. I looked at him and said it was because I treat people the way they deserve to be treated I am 40 but look 20. You treat people like s**t to make yourself look good infront of others you are 40 but look much older. He looked at me and said well I at least I ain't fat! I countered I can loose the weight but you will always be an as*hole then I walked away. My younger brother and his girlfriend almost needed a change of pants on that one.
Revenge be it putting a hated person's obituary in a scrapbook or burning some mook in a supermarket can be very healthy for the victim helping them move on.
