Colleen Ann Cusick

Colleen Ann Cusick, 69, of Syracuse, passed away November 10, 2026. Colleen was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on December 27, 1956, to David and Lorraine Laws. Colleen retired from Florida Central School District . She was a special education teacher.

In her free time, she enjoyed playing her games on her phone and talking with her friends on the game. She loved helping her grandchildren with homework, as well as helping all the neighborhood children with their homework and schoolwork. She made it her mission to keep all the kids in the neighborhood from fighting and to keep the neighborhood bully-free. No one could mess with her kids in the neighborhood and get away with it. Everyone loved knowing she was there to watch over all the children and everyone’s properties. Nothing could happen on the block without her knowing. We will miss our “eye in the sky!” Colleen was a teacher at heart who loved all children and would help them learn in any way possible.

She was preceded in death by her father, David Laws; and mother, Lorraine Viehmeyer.

She is survived by one sister, Heidi Dailey; two daughters, Lisa Selim and Megan Musolino; one son-in-law, Tony Musolino; and four granddaughters, Ariana Mayweather, Katrina Hardee, Isabella Rose Musolino, and Antonia Rose Musolino.
