Lois Wasserman Obituary

Lois Cutler Wasserman died Tuesday, July 26, 2022, peacefully in her home in South Windsor.

Lois is survived by her husband of 61 years, Kenneth Wasserman; her children, Nancy and Marc London, Jason and Jennifer Wasserman; her grandchildren, Brooke Wasserman, Brian London, Taylor London, Morgan Wasserman and David London; and her sister Maxine Dorfman. Lois is predeceased by her brother Joel Cutler.

Lois was born Oct. 17, 1938, in Hartford, as the youngest of three children to Samuel and Tillie Cutler. She graduated from Hall High School and then earned a degree in business from the University of Connecticut. Music was a large part of her early life, first with the violin and then as trombone player in the UConn Marching Band. After college, she worked for Connecticut General Insurance, before it became Cigna, and was the assistant to the CEO (Frasier Wilde). For most of her working career, she managed the books for Fabian Drug Store. Lois hosted foreign exchange students, Mika Seimiya and Karina Prizont Cowen, who will forever refer to Lois as Mom and mean it. She created and managed a Cutler Family page on Facebook to facilitate keeping in touch with many cousins. She loved Temple Beth Hillel in South Windsor, especially Rabbi Glickman and so many of the members, where she also volunteered for several years before her health turned. Lois enjoyed traveling the world and particularly enjoyed visiting Israel. She loved the pets that also blessed her for a few of her years. Most of all, she was passionate about human rights and dignity and saw the good in people.

A funeral service is scheduled for 11 a.m., on Friday, July 29, 2022, at Weinstein's Funeral Home at 640 Farmington Ave., in Hartford followed by burial at the Cutler Family Cemetery on Hurlbut Street in West Hartford. Rabbi Jeff Glickman will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Lois's life.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Temple Beth Hillel at 20 Baker Lane, South Windsor, CT

The family would like to thank the caregivers at Hartford Hospital Hospice as well as the home help staff at Faith Care and Home Companions (Rosita, Wadeline and Cynthia).

Ken, I am just learning of Lois´s passing. I remember her well from my days as an employee at Fabian´s. You were both very kind and generous with a bunch of impetuous, hair-brained high school kids. I learned a lot about being a good boss from you, and it has served me well in my veterinary clinic. I think of you fondly and often. Sincerely, Barry Taylor (`75 - `77)
