She was the wife of L. Fred Husson, with whom she would have celebrated 70 years of marriage on August 23rd. Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Walter E. and Dora S. Lausch Duing.

In early years, Mary worked in the offices of the former Armstrong Cork Company. Later, she worked at the family business, Lancaster Ultra Graphics Inc. as secretary.

She was a lifetime member of St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, where she was a very active member, taught kindergarten Sunday School, and volunteered in countless other activities. She had also been a volunteer at Luther Acres, delivered Meals on Wheels, was a member of the Lancaster Philatelic Society, and enjoyed singing and music.

In addition to her husband, Mary is survived by her children: Sue A. married to Peter Newswanger of New Holland, Sally L. married to Paul Schoffstall of New Tripoli, Steven D. Husson of Arizona, and Sylvia H. married to Greg Lashley of Millersville; her 8 grandchildren: Brett Newswanger, Sarah and Nathan Schoffstall, Kenny Lashley, Ryan Friedberg, Jonathan, Christopher, and Andrew Husson and their mother Nancy M. Husson; and one great granddaughter, Onie A. Friedberg. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Parke E. Duing and C. Arnold “Red” Duing. Mary’s family would like to thank the many Landis Homes staff who provided compassionate care to her, in every respect, during these difficult times.

Friends will be received by Mary’s family on Monday, August 22, 2022 from 1:30-2:30PM at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, 10 Delp Rd., Lancaster, PA, with the Funeral Service to follow at 2:30PM.

We are terribly sorry to hear of your loss and we want to let you and family members to know that you have our our deepest sympathy…Jack and Dee Vulgaris

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her worth is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10
Mary Husson.was one of the sweetest and most genuine people I ever had the privilege of knowing. She was a joy to be around and she had an infectious little chuckle that always made me smile. Everyone who worked at Lancaster Ultragraphics was delighted by a visit from Mary which did not happen often enough. My personal experience with Mary impressed the caring thoughtfulness that was just the depth of who she was to everyone she encountered. One day I became ill at the Fruitville office and the facility lacked a private place to recover. Steve drove me to his parents house and Mary led me to her own bedroom so I could lie down. Once recovered she took me back to the office so I could drive home. Her caring and kindness means so very much to me. May her memory be a blessing to all who mourn. My sincere condolences to her family especially Sylvia and Steve. You are in my prayers.

Heaven gained the sweetest soul this week Mrs. Husson, you and Mr. Husson were like grandparents to us, even attending grandparents day with Megan and I. From getting us off the bus after school to sneaking across the street after dinner to play cards games with you throughout our childhood. Rest in peace, you made an everlasting impact on our hearts.
