Brooklyn Lustig

Brooklyn Mackenzie Alexis Lustig, age 13, of Vevay, went home to be with Jesus at 12:23 a.m., on Friday, July 31st, 2015. She packed a lot of joy in her 13 years and now watches over a family who loved her fiercely.

Brooklyn had a smile as wide and bright as an Indiana sunset, eyes that sparkled like stars and beautiful golden hair. She lit up every room she entered with her joyful spirit and bubbly giggle. She laughed hard and played even harder. Everyone who knew her was better for it.

Brooklyn loved horseback riding; arts and crafts; tearing through the mud on her dirt bike; and raising and showing her 4-H animals. She swam like a fish, ran like the wind on her track and field team, and loved spending time with her family. If she had her way she would have eaten only pizza and sugar.

Though she did not like doing the dishes or cleaning her room, she was a master at getting in the last word (or so she thought). Ornery as the day is long, she was a stinker through and through, and her family and friends loved every minute of it.

She was a part of the Pleasant Outlaws 4-H club, where she showed sheep and pigs; and enjoyed exhibit hall projects such as: fine arts, beekeeping, and of course horses.

She was an eighth grader at the Switzerland County Middle School where she had more friends than her family could begin to count. She had a heart for those who felt forgotten, and loved serving others through her church. She threw parties for kids who never felt celebrated and fed the homeless. She was a jewel in the family crown.

Brooklyn, known to many who loved her as "Brookie Cookie" will be dearly missed by her loving parents: Christina Cunning of Flagstaff, Arizona; Joe Gosciniak of Vevay; and Steve and Janelle Lustig of Vevay. Her parents loved her more than words could ever express and will cherish her sweet spirit always. She was their "fooful" (beautiful) princess; their darling baby girl.

She was the spunky, sassy and sweet sister to: Kayla; Marissa; Katie; Andrea and her husband: Travis Scudder; Kyleigh; David; Matthew; Samuel and his wife: Polly; Gabe; Allie and Patrishia.

She will also be missed by her nieces: Arabella and Rebecca; her nephews: Malachi and Carson; her grandma: Carol Gosciniak; her papaw: Tim Atkins; her grandma: Barb Girdler; her grandpa: Gary Girdler; and her grandma: Rose Fletcher - who all adored her and spoiled her rotten (just the way she liked it).

She was the beloved niece to: Jordan Gosciniak and his daughter: Chloe; Jake Gosciniak and his wife: Ashley, and their sons: Mason, Evan and their daughter: Taylor; Josh Gosciniak and his son: Dion; Justin Gosciniak; Jack Monroe; Bill Monroe; Eddie Monroe and his wife: Chris and their children, Brenda Sceifres and her husband: Mike and their sons: Liam and Bailey; Kim Guerro and her husband: Gilberto and their sons: Thomas, Clemente and Christopher; Lisa Allen and her son: James Allen Sr. and their grandchildren: Bub and Prudence; Paul Lustig and his wife: Laveda; Cecelia Rodman; Betty Head and her husband: Jim and their children: Paula Durbin and her husband: Bob and their children; Joan Hurbst and her husband: Rick and their children; Doris Webb and her husband: Billy and their children: Tammy Motley and her husband: Mick and their children; Harmony Hensley and her husband: Skyler and their son: Ransom, Diane Adamec and her husband: Tom and their daughters: Steph and Jen.

Her family will miss her dearly but will continue her legacy of kindness, laughter, service and boundless joy.

Brooklyn was greeted into eternity with open arms by her loving grandpa: Joseph "Joe" Gosciniak; her loving great-grandfather: William Zimmer and her loving aunt: Rebecca Monroe.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday, August 5th, 2015, at 11 a.m., by Pastor Harmony Hensley, at the Haskell and Morrison Funeral Home, 208 Ferry Street Vevay.

Interment will follow in the Lee Cemetery, Fairview, Indiana

Brooklyn's family celebrated her life with visitation on Tuesday, August 4th, at the Haskell and Morrison Funeral Home.

A celebration meal followed at the Switzerland County 4-H Fairgrounds.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations to be made to the Brooklyn Lustig Endowment Fund, care of the Community Foundation of Switzerland County, 317 Ferry Street, Vevay, Indiana, 47043, to benefit the Pleasant Outlaws 4-H Club in honor of Brooklyn and her love for animals, arts, and crafts. Cards are available at the funeral home.
