Edythe Lasseter

LASSETER, Edythe (Jones) Edythe (Jones) Lasseter, 96, of Bloomfield, was called safely home on Thursday (August 25, 2005). Born and raised in Suffield, she moved to Springfield after her marriage to the late Malcolm Lasseter Sr. Edythe, blind, led a very active life in Springfield, working for the City of Springfield for many years and then the Common Wealth of Massachusetts at the Workshop for the Blind. During that time she was a member of the Alden Street Baptist Church, the Association of the Blind, The Protestant Guild for the Blind and the Golden Agers. After retiring from the workshop in 1975, she moved to Bloomfield to live with her sister, the late Lavinnia Dolphy. Edythe was still active, and with her love of music, she joined the Bloomfield United Methodist Church and sang in the choir. She also joined the Bloomfield Music Makers and the Hartford Harmonizers. Edythe's family wishes to send special thanks and love to acknowledge three wonderful ladies who took care of Edythe this past year and a half, Blossom Goulbourne, Cynthia Ellis and Sheila Chang. They were the best of the best and Edythe loved them all. They wish to also thank Hospice for being so caring and helpful to Edythe and the family. Left to cherish her memory are her son, Malcolm Lasseter and his wife Sandra; five grandchildren, and four great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and one very special niece, Jane Taylor. Edythe was predeceased by three brothers and one sister who are all now safely home. They are James Jones, William Jones, Clyde Jones, and Lavinnia Dolphy. A graveside service will be held on Monday, August 29, 11a.m., at Oak Grove Cemetery, Bay Street, Springfield, MA. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to Hospice of East Hartford, 11 Founders Plaza, East Hartford, CT. Carmon Windsor Funeral Home has care of arrangements.
