Elise Ann Fousek

Elise Ann Fousek, age 79, of Abingdon, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 2, 2025, in Abingdon. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Elise was the beloved daughter of the late William A. Piet and Elizabeth (Kramer) Piet.

Elise was the most amazing and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Family was her entire world. She was a strong, resilient, and kind woman whose unwavering devotion to her children and grandchildren was evident in everything she did. A true Lion amongst Sheep, Elise faced life’s challenges with courage and grace. A dedicated homemaker, she later balanced full-time work and school while raising her beloved children—a testament to her incredible strength and love.

She had a deep love for the beach and was especially fond of her dogs. Her cherished companion Joey, a little Chihuahua-Terrier mix, will miss her dearly, as will her other beloved dog, Eddie.

Elise was a devoted Christian who faithfully attended New Port Richey Church of the Nazarene. All that she did, she did with the love of Jesus. Her faith guided her life, and she was known to give her entire soul to those in need. A mother’s love never dies, and Elise’s love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving children, Elise Anne Fousek and James Francis Fousek, III daughter in law SusanMarie Fousek, her cherished grandchildren, James Francis Fousek IV, Alyssa Gibbons, Emily Elizabeth Fousek, and Paul Anthony Fousek; and her adored great-grandchildren, Emma Grace Fousek, Marly Elise Fousek, Lilly Bloom Fousek, James "Bubby" Fousek V, and Baker Jacob Fousek.

Cherished friends, Pastor Noah Tharp and especially Pastor Jeanne Morgan from NPR First Church of the Nazarene, who held a special place in Elise's heart.

Service and visitation information will be announced by the family.
