Sad News: Obituary for Marianne Konrad Bessette

It grieves me to be the bearer of sad news once again. I was informed yesterday of the passing of our classmate, Marianne Konrad Bessette on Saturday, April 5, 2025. Our hearts go out to her husband, Bob Bessette, also SBHS '67, and her family. Bob has attended many of our SBHS '67 Reunion events, but, due to health issues, Marianne could not attend. Please accept our sincere condolences. Here is Marianne's obituary, which also appears in today's edition of the New London Day. She was a lovely, fun lady, and I personally have many fond memories of her from our SBHS days. Requiescat in Pace, Marianne. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/theday/name/marianne-bessette-obituary?id=58088406&fbclid=IwY2xjawJjSStleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHo14UOCBFOoVULjngZLNUO6D9mRxtQLJhRf5duDxz5ppVrGIYXdbHU5fBhce_aem_N9nHIa_EJXsVbP0Yk4EOTw

UPDATE: great new photo from Mimi Cushman Gillen.

It was a wonderful Get Together at The Social in New London yesterday! Patti Murray, coming all the way from Maui won the Iron Butt Award (longest travel distance)! Congrats, Patti, and it was great to see you! Photos courtesy of Faith Davidson Asselin, Margery Lacey-Tal and Tom Schuch. (N.B. I will try to add identifying captions as time allows.)
