Jane Frances Kuszek, 98, of Londonderry, NH, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday July 16, 2022. She was born on June 25, 1924, in Lowell, MA, a daughter of the late John and Mary (Skicka) Zygadlo.
Jane was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend to many. She was selfless and full of grace. She was the glue that held the family together. Jane loved her flower garden and watching the birds that visited her window feeder. She was always eager to join her daughters for a ride to the beach, to go out for ice cream, or to enjoy a dinner at a favorite restaurant. Jane enjoyed reading, often finishing a book every few days. She loved her cat Sandra, a faithful companion for the last sixteen years. Jane was the quintessential Avon Lady and in earlier years was a district leader. She enjoyed a career that spanned over forty years and continued to sell Avon well into her nineties. Jane always had a positive outlook and a radiant smile.
She is survived by three daughters, Brenda Strino and husband Kenneth of Winthrop, ME, Liane St. Laurent and husband André of Londonderry, NH and Lisa Pascoal and husband Eric of Bedford, NH; five grandchildren, David Strino, Michelle Cohen, Deborah Settle, Julia Haslauer, and Adrian Haslauer; and four great-grandchildren. Jane was predeceased by her husband Louis Kuszek, a daughter, Lois Kuszek, a granddaughter, Sharon Strino, and her sister Viola Faieta.
There are no calling hours. Following cremation, memorial services will be held by the family at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Community Caregivers of Greater Derry, 6 West Broadway, Unit 6, Derry, NH 03038, https://www.comcaregivers.org/. The family is grateful for the support that allowed Jane to remain in her home of over sixty-five years.
