Mary Lou Austin

Mary Louise Austin died on October 18, 2022 after a two year long battle with cancer.  She was the daughter of the late Felix David Jorsey “Trix” and Mary (Healy) Jorsey.  She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Roger and her son, Roger Jr.  It brought her comfort knowing that they would be reunited again.

She is survived by her daughter, Lu-Ann Reznik and her husband Gary of Plantsville, CT and their two children Heather Rynkowski and her husband Peter of Niantic, CT and Eric Reznik of Naples, FL; brother David Jorsey and his wife Lorry of East Berlin, CT and St. James City, FL; brother Allen of Port Orange, FL and several nieces and nephews.

She was a devoted fan of the Boston Red Sox and UCONN Women’s Basketball but her greatest joy was supporting athletic and academic accomplishments of her grandchildren.  She worked at McGee Middle School in the cafeteria while her children were school aged and then retired after working in several dental offices in Berlin and New Britain.  She was an avid reader, enjoyed watching Hallmark movies and loved to travel with Roger in their retirement, especially enjoying Florida, Cape Cod, MA and cruising.

As per Mary Lou’s wishes, funeral will be private.   The family would like to thank her wonderful neighbors over the years and numerous dear friends who were always there for her.  Your visits and phone calls meant the world to her.
