Dorothy Cusick

Ms. Dorothy Catherine Cusick, 79, was born in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin to the late Dorothy Fitch Marshall and the late Guy Fredrick Marshall. She passed away on June 1, 2018, in Morro Bay, California with family present. Dorothy was born outside of Milwaukee where she began her passions of teaching elementary school and serving Jesus Christ. She attended Marquette University and graduated with a BS in Arts. She also enjoyed modeling and was crowned Homecoming Queen of Marquette University. There, she met and married Doctor Lawrence Cusick and moved to San Francisco. She raised her four boys and was constantly applying bandaids and removing grass stains and teaching them how to clean their rooms. Dinner time at her cherished yellow dining room table was always a treat with her family. She later moved up to the foothills near Grass Valley and enjoyed the wild animals that would stop by to say hi. She was a loving and caring mother that helped her four birds to fly on their own. Dorothy is preceded in death by her dear brother, Guy Fitch Marshall. She is survived by her former husband; her four sons: Larry, Michael, John and Scott; and her six grandkids: Yugi, Sophia, Olivia, Lucas, Gianne and Jackie Taylor. Rest In Peace Mom, WE LOVE YOU. Visitation is from 2:00 to 5:00 pm, Thursday, June 21, 2018, at Wheeler Smith Mortuary in San Luis Obispo. A funeral service will take place at 10:00 am, Friday, June 22nd, at the Mission De Tolosa, San Luis Obispo.
