Lenora Clifton Kusnerik

It is with deepest sadness we convey the passing of Lenora Clifton Kusnerik, who passed away peacefully at home in Lanesborough on December 9th, at the age of 70. She was born in Arizona, the oldest of three siblings, and spent much of her childhood traveling the country with her military family.

Lenora was known for her amazing sense of humor, her giving nature, her generous spirit, and her love of children and animals. Her love of cooking and baking were only matched by her amazing ability to grow a garden anywhere. Always willing to help others, she did so with kindness and without judgment, and her strength and courage are a lasting testament to the life of an incredible woman who will be dearly missed. Her greatest joy was found in spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she loved, supported, and protected throughout her life.

Lenora is survived by her four children: Rachael Eramo, Jill Eskett, Courtney Link, and Eric Rullmann, as well as fourteen grandchildren.

Services will be held on Saturday, December 17th at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 470 East New Lenox Road, Pittsfield. There will be a short memorial service at 12:00 noon, with calling hours from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served as Lenora requested, and attendees are encouraged to stay and enjoy. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made in her name to HospiceCare in the Berkshires.
