Sue's senior candid photo.
Our dear classmate Susan "Sue" Jasinski Dubois passed away on Dec. 19, 2023.
Sue joined our class in first grade. During high school she was on the Aegis yearbook staff during her senior year; a member of the Red Cross Club during her junior and senior years; in the Model Congress Club during her junior year; on the field hockey team during her sophomore year; and a player on intramural sports teams all four years.
Here are excerpts from her obituary, which appeared on the Gamble Funeral Service website, Savannah, GA:
Susan C. Dubois, 71, of Savannah, GA passed away at home surrounded by her family on Monday, Dec. 18, 2023.
Susan was born on Mar. 21, 1952 in Troy, NY. She was adopted by Walter and Stella Jasinski from East Longmeadow, MA.
She graduated from East Longmeadow High. Growing up, she was, with her father, a part of the East Longmeadow Coin and Stamp Club. She was also on the field hockey team during her high school career.
She spent her life primarily striving to be a good mother and devoted wife. She was very passionate about cooking and enjoyed reading and crossword puzzles.
At St. Francis of Assisi, she enjoyed spending time with the arts and crafts group. She was also head of the church food pantry for a number of years, grocery shopping and making deliveries to families in the community.
She was a postal worker for over 25 years and then enjoyed working at UMass of Amherst, cooking in the cafeteria.
