DUSTI O'CONNOR

So sorry for your loss. Dusti was a FABULOUS woman!!

Oh, I'm am so sorry to hear of Dusty's passing. To me, she was aunt Dusty. I'll never forget all the wonderful times in my childhood spent with my mom ( "Torchy" )and Dusty and Norm. The ride in their cabin cruiser I'll never forget. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss of this wonderful human being.

I started dancing with Dusty when I was 10 years old in 1958!!! I have such fond memories of Dusty and the other students. So sorry to hear she is gone. She will be missed.

So sad to hear of this amazing lady's passing! I started dancing with her in 1977 at age 4, student taught and eventually taught dance for many years! We had our "height" in commons as I am under 5' tall too - lol. Many amazing memories at the Strongsville Studio including Kick Line and working on Saturday with the special kids !!
Keep Dancing Dusti :)

I have often thought about Dusti over the years. I had such a grand time tap dancing & jazz dancing at her studio throughout my childhood. I remember the costumes & the recitals! But most of all, I remember Dusti...... always smiling, always full of positive energy......a great teacher and a great lady. I am sure she left a lasting impression on many, many individuals. As she did on me. Rest in peace, Dusti. You certainly did your part to make this a better world....... Debbie (Prahst) Ranieri

Dusti was truly an inspirational woman. Not only did I take lessons at her studio over 40 years ago but so did my daughter. What a kind little lady with a BIG heart. Rest in Peace, Dusti. You will be missed!

She was as close to a second mother as anyone could possibly be. I grew up with her love and support and will miss her always. Dusti created a family for all of her students.

What a blessing and privilege it has been to know Dusti. She truly made an impact on so many lives! She not only taught us about Dance, but also about being a better person. Her compassion, kindness, and smile will forever be remembered. With tremendous love and gratitude, Cathy Carey, and Kelly Rose.

So sad to hear of this great lady's passing. She was simply a gifted human being who always had a kind word and a smile for everyone she met. My daughters took many dance classes with Dusti and her staff for many years and they are some of our family's fondest memories. She had the most infectious personality and I loved watching her dance, her smile lit up the stage! The world has lost a one-of-a-kind class act, they don't make em like this anymore!
