It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend Kelly Lustig. Kelly made a profound and lasting impact on Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter and the lives of countless animals. Her dedication and selflessness in volunteering, adopting animals, and serving on the Board of Directors demonstrate her true love and commitment to the welfare of animals.
Kelly Lustig was a member of the MPAS Board for more than 20 years and served as President, Vice President and Secretary in addition to serving on the Development and Finance Committees. Kelly would often say that her greatest joy was doing Pet Therapy visits with her MPAS adoptees Jax and Dani. Kelly’s thoughtful nature brought smiles to the faces of those whose lives she made better.
As we mourn this great loss, we are reminded of her compassionate spirit. Kelly’s legacy of kindness and generosity will undoubtedly live on through the work and mission of the shelter.
A funeral service for Kelly will be held Sunday, October 15, 2023 at 1:00 PM at Bernheim-Apter-Kreitzman Suburban Funeral Chapel, 68 Old Short Hills Road, Livingston, New Jersey. Following the funeral service will be a burial at 2:15 PM at Mount Lebanon Cemetery, 189 Gill Lane, Iselin, New Jersey.
