Longtime Rumsonite Lucille Lusk Puth passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 21. She was 96.

Born in Orange to the late Charles and Mary (Cocozza) Lusk, Lucille graduated from Montclair State University in 1950. She was one of the first women to graduate with a degree in mathematics.
Post graduation, she immediately started her career teaching high school mathematics. She then married her husband, the late Edward C. Puth Sr., on June 30, 1951 in Irvington.
“When Lucille wasn’t teaching or tutoring, she was out on the sail boat with her husband or spending time with her family. Lucille and Edward were married for 42 years. Lucille was a parishioner at The Church of Nativity. A woman of faith, she set an example for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren that lead them all their lives.”
