A member of the Quinnipiac community died early Friday from complications from COVID-19. Marie Cusano worked in the People’s United Center as an usher.
Those who knew Cusano described her as an avid sports fan, especially for Quinnipiac’s hockey and basketball teams.
“To know Marie was to love her,” said Lori Onofrio, the men’s and women’s ice hockey secretary. “Whether you knew her from the hockey teams she supported, she was the most loyal friend and fan. Always a smile for everyone and a good word.”
Students who attended the hockey games remembered her kindness.
“Anyone who has gone to QU games on York knew Marie Cusano and Mike Cusano,” said John Opie, first-year health science major. Marie was so kind and definitely brightened up the arena.”
Hamden currently has thirty one cases of COVID-19 with the national total reaching 200,000.
