MUSSETT ARTHUR ERNEST ARTHUR E...
MUSSETT ARTHUR ERNEST Arthur Ernest Mussett passed away Tuesday, March 6th, at Hearthstone Health Campus in Bloomington, Indiana. He was 91. Arthur was born in England at Ewell, Surrey, on March 29, 1926, to Arthur Frederick John Mussett and Winifred Naomi (Towner) Mussett. In 1927, the family moved to Epsom, where his parents would live for 69 years, and where Arthur attended Pound Lane School and Epsom Central School. After completing his schooling, Arthur trained to be an electrical engineer at Wimbledon Polytechnic Institute and then worked as a lighting engineer for the Edison Swan Electric Company in London. Once old enough to join the war effort, Arthur enlisted in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. He came to the USA for flight training and was stationed at Naval Air Station Bunker Hill, near Peru, Indiana. In the spring of 1945, Arthur would meet his future wife, Dorothy Anne Carson, at an event hosted by the USO in Indianapolis. Arthur had additional flight training at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, but at the war's end he returned to Britain. He remained in the Navy, receiving training as a radar engineer before being stationed at Royal Naval Air Station Anthorn in Cumberland. Upon discharge from the Navy, Arthur returned to Edison Swan, but also sought to broaden his electrical engineering credentials by studying at Northampton Institute in London. In 1952, Arthur came to the USA to accept a position as a sales engineer for the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. In Indianapolis, he was reunited with Dorothy and her family, and the couple married in May of 1954. Arthur went on to become a draftsman at the firm of Bevington Taggart and Fowler. He became a United States citizen in 1957, and in 1959, he and two colleagues founded the firm of consulting engineers that is now known as Mussett Nicholas and Associates. For 28 years, Arthur and his business partner and friend, Virgil J. Nicholas, worked to build MNA into a respected firm that continues to this day. Arthur retired in 1987, and he and Dorothy moved to Brown County, Indiana. They enjoyed an active retirement, traveling in the USA and in Europe, as well as enjoying the outdoors, and the cultural opportunities in Bloomington and Indianapolis. Arthur was a devoted husband, father, and uncle. He was preceded in death by his mother, Winifred (1967); his father, Arthur (1996); his stepmother, Gladys (1997); his wife, Dorothy (2009); and his sister-in-law, Alice M. Carson (2012). He is survived by his son, Steven Arthur Mussett of Evansville, Indiana; by his brother-in-law, Raymond E. Carson, Jr. of Duluth, Minnesota; by his three nieces, Mary A. Robison of Jacksonville, Florida, Catherine A. McCarty of Duluth, Minnesota, and Patrica L. Scalzo (Robert) of Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania; and by four grand-nieces and nephews, Rachel Robison, Clara Robison, Sean McCarty, and Samuel Scalzo. In accordance with Arthur's wishes, there will be no funeral. The final months of Arthur's life were made more comfortable through the companionship of public radio. His family invites you to make a donation in his memory to the public broadcaster in your community.

FREDETTE BARBARA WAGNER Died peacefully on March 6, 2018, after a brief illness, surrounded by her loving family. She was an Emeritus Associate Professor of Elementary Education at the University of Pittsburgh, where she influenced generations of arts educators. Among other professional recognitions, she received the Pennsylvania Art Education Association Outstanding Art Educator award. Barbara's father, Lawrence A. Wagner, was a pioneering pilot for Pan American Airlines in South America, where she was born in Lima, Peru on December 5, 1933. After her father's death in a plane crash in 1934, Barbara and her mother, Anne, returned to the United States.

She did so with the active support of her extended family and especially, her mother and her father-in-law, John W. Fredette, MD. Barbara obtained her doctorate in 1969. Barbara was an exceptionally talented photographer and later in life created a greeting card business using her extensive library of flower pictures. She was an avid traveler and was particularly proud of achieving her goal of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Barbara loved being at the ocean, especially her time spent in the 1960s and 70s with her sons and their cousins on Martha's Vineyard and in later years with her sons and grandchildren on Topsail Island. In retirement Barbara enjoyed water aerobics at the P.A.A. and her book club. She was also an active member of the Christ Child Society, which provides winter coats for children in need. Barbara was predeceased by her grandson, Benjamin Lawrence Fredette and her daughter-in-law, Aimee Chesler Fredette. She is survived by her sons, John W.
