Obituary of Camille A. Lussier

Ocala, FL - Camille A. “Cam” Lussier, 95, formerly of Klondike Street, Grosvenordale died peacefully June 18, 2016 at the Legacy Hospice House. He was born May 14, 1921 in Putnam to the late Arthur and Lillian (Bonin) Lussier. He was a veteran who proudly served in the United States Air Force and made his home “on the Klondike” for most of his adult life.

Retiring after 30 years of service as a machinery maintenance worker in 1986, Cam enjoyed traveling, making life-long friends along the way, and loved spending time with his family. He was preceded in death by his wife and mother of his children Dorothy (Alley) in 1994, and second wife Norma (Gariepy) in 2002. He is survived by his three loving daughters, Lillian, wife of the late Donald Sidebottom of Ocala, FL, Patricia McDaniel and husband Russell of Old Saybrook, CT, Darlene Marriott and husband Daniel of Brooklyn, CT; grandchildren Dwain Clark, Jr. and wife Christine of North Lauderdale, FL, Stephanie Dambreville and husband Martin of Long Island, NY, Kathryn Mawdsley and husband Michael of Old Saybrook, CT; great-grandchildren Anthony Clark and Dylan Dambreville; and special long-time friend, Jan Duquette of North Grosvenordale.
