On Monday, April 19th, the family and friends of Cecile Mary Prusaitis gathered in thanksgiving and praise of God for the gift of Cecile’s life. She was married to her “soul mate”, Bill for more than 67 years. Blessed with four children, William (Amy); Cindy, Mark (Valerie) and Gregory (Cynthia) and ten grandchildren, Cecile generously shared her dedication and commitment to her Catholic faith in many ways; teaching the faith to children through “CCD”, making prayer shawls and serving as a member of the Rosary Makers. It is estimated that she made over 16,000 rosaries! Cecile had a deep devotion to Our Blessed Mother and grew particularly close to Mary as she made rosaries. Of French heritage, she was involved in many community activities such as United Way, Monroe Newcomer’s Club, Business and Professional Women; RSVP in caregiving and Project Read for adults. St. Mary Parish extends its sympathy and prayerful support to Cecile’s family. May the faith and hope in the resurrection that guided Cecile, comfort and console you as you grieve the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother.
