MARISUE CRAMSEY LESTER Marisue Lester passed away on February 25, 2009, at her home in Denville, surrounded by her family and friends, after a brave 13 month battle with lung cancer. She was 48 years old. She was a lifelong resident of Denville, and graduated from Morris Knolls High School in 1978. She enjoyed being a homemaker and mother, but also worked part time; usually in a position which involved her great love of animals, most recently as the sole proprietor of Lester Pet Sitters. Marisue will be remembered for her energetic nature, her interest in all things spiritual and mystical, her enjoyment of music and the outdoors, and the unconditional love she bestowed on her circle of family and friends. She is predeceased by her parents, John & Elizabeth Cramsey, and her father in-law, Larry Lester. Marisue is survived by her loving husband of 24 years, Michael Lester of Denville, her cherished daughters, Jessica of Randolph and Jennifer, at home; her brother, David Cramsey of CA; her mother in-law, Marion Lester of Denville; her brothers and sisters in-law; Mark & Jonine Lester of Denville, David & Danielle Lester of North Carolina; and Daniel & Sherry Lester of North Carolina. She will be greatly missed by her nieces, nephews and many dear friends, and also by her furry friends at home; Thor, China, Nala, Mooshie, Tango and Musashi. Services for Marisue will be held on Saturday February 28, 2009 at 5:00 PM at Norman Dean Home for Services 16 Righter Ave. Denville, NJ. Friends may visit with the family starting at 3:00 PM.
