Brock University is mourning the death of one of its longest-serving employees.<\/p>\n
Athletics Department Administrative Co-ordinator Marilou Iusi died Sunday in Niagara Falls after battling an illness. She was 63 years old.<\/p>\n
Iusi worked for Brock for 39 years after starting her tenure on Sept. 7, 1976, when the varsity sports teams were still known as the Generals.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was a very hard worker,\u201d said Assistant Athletic Director Chris Critelli. \u201cShe loved her job and she loved being around the students and coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n
Critelli said Iusi was a key resource for coaches, who relied on her to keep track of all of their team budgets and special requests like booking buses.<\/p>\n
\u201cMarilou had history here so she knew exactly what was going on at every level. She was very well organized and kept all of us on track,\u201d Critelli said. \u201cIf coaches wanted any information about their program, they would go to her. She was always so happy to help. And she always did it with a smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
Iusi is survived by her husband, Tony, and the couple\u2019s son, Eddie.<\/p>\n
A Celebration of Life will be held at noon on Saturday, Jan. 30 \u00a0at Stamford Lane United Church in Niagara Falls. In Iusi’s memory, the flags at Brock University will be lowered to half-mast Friday, Jan. 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
