Lucie Csutoros, age 82 years, of Melbourne, FL, died on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at Holmes Regional Medical Center, Melbourne, FL after a brief illness.
Born on November 9, 1933 in Soissons, France, daughter of the late Stephan Szezepaniak and Pauline (Russ) Szezepaniak, she emigrated to the United States in 1954. She had formerly lived in Paris, France, Astoria, Queens, NY and Bloomingdale, NJ.
Lucie was extremely giving of herself and meeting the needs of others. She was cognizant of others feelings and strived to make life fun and enjoyable for all.
Always involved and doing something, Lucie enjoyed Zumba, Tai Chi, playing and usually winning at Bridge, planning picnics and cooking for her family and friends, and just genuinely enjoying life.
She was a person who left a lasting impression for the better on all those she knew. This is summed up by a tribute paid to her by many friends and neighbors who said, “Lucie was a wonderful friend and neighbor, never hesitating to lend a helping hand in any way that she could. She will truly be missed.”
