DIONNE

Jeanne Ann (Cyprus) Dionne, 43, of Hartford, beloved wife of Jeffrey Dionne, 
left this world unexpectedly on Wednesday (April 2, 2003).

The daughter of Edward W. and the late Jean A. (Ramus) Cypus of Windsor, she 
grew up in Windsor and, after her marriage, resided in Hartford most of her 
adult life. A talented, creative woman, Jeanne was an accomplished writer, 
artist, and embroiderer. For several years, she was employed by the Connecticut 
Historical Society's Education Department in Hartford where she was responsible 
for coordinating special events, especially The Spring Festival, and education 
programs to Connecticut schools. She had a passion for books and Native 
American culture as well as animals. A graduate of Windsor High School, Class 
of '77, she received that institution's highest academic award that year as 
well as numerous awards for her stories and artwork.

In addition to her husband, Jeffrey Dionne, she leaves behind her father, 
Edward W. Cypus of Windsor; her sister, Linda, with whom she shared a special 
bond, and brother-in-law, Bernard Medura, of East Hartford; her sister, Janice 
and brother-in-law, Sebastian LaRosa, of Unionville; her aunt and uncle, Helen 
and Edward Kisluk of New Britain; two uncles, Joseph Ramus and his wife, Susan, 
of New Britain, and Stanley Cipkas and his wife, Betty, of Bloomfield; her 
mother-in-law and father-in-law, Nancy and Joseph Dionne of East Hartford; 
brother-in-law and sister-in-law Russell and Cathy Dionne of Newington, and a 
brother-in-law, Raymond Dionne of East Hartford; many cousins; and numerous 
nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. She also leaves behind her beloved 
companion cats and many other animal friends. Those who knew her best will 
greatly miss her.

The funeral will be held Monday, April 7, 9:15 a.m., from the Carmon Windsor 
Funeral Home, 807 Bloomfield Avenue, Windsor, followed by a Mass of Christian 
Burial, 10 a.m., at St. Gabriel's Church, Windsor. Entombment services will be 
held Tuesday, 11 a.m., at Mount St. Benedict Mausoleum.

Her family will receive friends Sunday, April 6, 5-7 p.m., at the Carmon 
Windsor Funeral Home.

Donations may be made to the Fox Memorial Clinic at the CT Humane Society, 
701 Russell Rd., Newington, CT 06111 for Jeanne's tremendous love of animals.
