Mélanie nous écrit: «J’avais visité avec mon père son ancien lycée et je suis sure qu’il serait fier de savoir qu’il a reçu une lettre de votre association.» ________________________________________________ We are very sad to inform all alumni of the passing of Nanette Eliane Cerisoles on May 28, 2003. Her son, Herve Cerisoles (’72) wrote to thank everyone for the email messages they sent to Mme. Cerisoles during her illness: “My mother was very touched by the 200 + e-mails sent to her original hospital which we read to her while she was in a comatose state. However, she never regained the strength to read them on her own or have the energy or concentration needed to rack her memory in order to recognize the students who had sent such warm thoughts and wishes. It was a devastating seven months on a respirator for her, for my father who had to drive a tortuous 90 minutes one way on the interstate on a near daily basis (I had to put him in the hospital twice from sheer exhaustion) and I only had a couple short opportunities to chat with her off the respirator during the latter of my 20+ trips down to Florida. Witnessing her pain and her sudden passing without me having the opportunity to have a final intimate conversation with her had been personally devastating and I am still reeling from it. I have tried over a dozen times to sit at my computer to finally answer all of her e-mails, only to fall into a dark hole. I will be able to do it soon. Anyway, I was hoping to organize a memorial service in New York for her or a remembrance service possibly for her and other key Lycee individuals (Galy, Choquet, Kieffer, Brodin, etc.) at a time which could coincide with an alum event or something with the institution's new digs in the near future, possibly in the spring of 2004? Again, the entire Cerisoles family relays their thanks to all Lycee alumnae for their hope, wishes and prayers. Merci encore, Herve” Extract from the MEMORIAL MASS St . Paul of the Cross Church, Singer Island, FL June 7, 2003 Nanette Cérisoles, the daughter of the late Suzanne Thomas and Lieutenant Commander Edward Newell, was born in 1924. She grew up in Paris and New York, graduating with a B.A. from Barnard College. Her career in education administration spanned over 30 years, most of it spent at the Lyceé Francais de New York, where she rose to Director of Administration. Her many students remember her as a guardian of the East 95th Street school’s history. Along with a strong sense of discipline and duty, which she applied to the pupils as well as to herself, she had a warm, caring and vivacious personality. She retired in 1987 and moved with her husband, René, to Florida. Surrounded by her friends in Old Port Cove she enjoyed playing bridge, organizing the parish library and traveling back to France. Always enthusiastic for new experiences, she followed René to Indonesia on a pro bono executive consultancy mission, spending 6 months teaching English to Muslim university students. She will be greatly missed by her husband of 57 years, René, their daughter, Geneviève Edis of London, England, their son Hervé and his wife Terry of Marietta, Georgia, and four grandsons, Rupert, Oliver and Jamyn of London, and Timothée of Paris, France. ________________________________________________ |
