Memorials may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.

(Note 1: In Donald Tussinger's obituary, her maiden name is given as Fosnow. In this obituary, the name is spelled Fausnaught and Fausnaugh. Logically, the latter is the correct one, but...)

(Note 2: the names and number of her children do not jibe with her husband's obituary. It is likely that she had been married before marrying Donald Tussinger.)

(Note 3: Official Henry County birth records say she was born in McCure.)
