Early in her career she was an executive assistant for Bendix Corporation, she then took time off to raise her three children. Prior to retirement, she worked for Marske-Schardein & Associates in the same role.
She was kind, strong in her faith and had a wonderful sense of humor. She was a devoted wife, mother and daughter. She enjoyed family and friends, traveling, and especially being with her best friend and husband Jim.
She adored her family, including her loving husband Jim; daughter Mary (David) Paustian, Vinton, IA, sons Steve (Nikki) Lusso, Omaha, NE, John (Trisha) Lusso, New Franken, WI; grandchildren Mary Lou (Zack) Shafer, Katie Paustian, Garrett Paustian, Connor Lusso, Gretchen Lusso, Emily Lusso; great grandchildren Hayden and Owen Shafer; siblings Marilyn (Tom) Walterman, Maurice (Madeline) Maurer, and Jean (David) Claussen.
