Although I only met Mrs. Lusson a few times, I remember her as a beautiful, very intelligent, and thoughtful lady. Her brief biography indicates that
although her interaction with her loved ones would be very time consuming, she was able to also be a dedicated educator, volunteer, and travel. Her students were blessed to have learned under her and I’m sure they have pleasant memories from both the formal knowledge they learned in her classroom and and her personal tutelage. I’m sure she will be dearly missed by all those who knew and knew her.
Jeanne was thoughtful. She supported Misericordia fundraisers. It was fun going to their Christmas parties. She was a great bridge player and her friends enjoyed her company. Jeanne was generous. She remembered my family’s loss by sending beautiful flowers. It was sweet of her to make dinners special for the last four years and to hear about her wonderful family. With deepest sympathies.
