John Tone Rassweiler
September 6, 1963–March 22, 2026

Jay (John) Tone Rassweiler will be remembered for his all-encompassing smile and gregarious and generous nature. Jay always offered a helping hand and could be counted on to do any project with enthusiasm. He loved all animals, and they seemed to know how much he cared. Jay was a loving brother who knew how to give his family the best hugs.
Over the past few years Jay accepted diagnoses of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cancer with grace. Jay died in the hospital on March 22, 2026, with his sister Janet and brother Michael by his side.

Jay was born to Anne Grace Dickason Rassweiler and John Hancock Rassweiler in Rye, NY, on September 6, 1963. He graduated from the Forman School, CT, studied for his airframe and powerplant license at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and attended The Lewis School of Princeton.

He lived in Princeton, NJ, and Coconut Grove and Daytona Beach, FL, before settling in Waitsfield, VT. He was proud of becoming a Vermonter. He found work that suited him as “Top Jay.” He worked the top of the Sugarbush Gatehouse lift, greeting skiers cheerfully, keeping them safe, and constantly caring for “his” ramp. Summers were spent doing the same job for mountain bikers, hikers, and “leaf peepers.” He loved the town of Waitsfield and knew the best hikes and swimming holes. He happily explored the back roads in his Jeep. He did volunteer construction work with Habitat for Humanity and helped his brother Cliff and sister-in-law Marilyn care for their stallion Arisco. He enjoyed both riding and going for trail walks with Arisco. Jay loved to read, hike, swim, and play frisbee golf.

Jay lived most recently in Hopewell, NJ, close to his brother Michael and his father. Kind and thoughtful caregivers helped him through each day. Jay smiled a lot and walked to the coffee shop almost every day.

Jay is survived by his sister Janet (Casey), brothers Clifford (Marilyn) and Michael (Colleen), nephew Casey, and many loving cousins and their children.

We will remember and celebrate Jay on Saturday, May 16, 2026. For more details and to RSVP, please email mrchranch@gmail.com.

In lieu of flowers, please consider contributions to Habitat for Humanity.

Jacqueline Strohauer Lenox
September 28, 1931­–January 4, 2026

Jacqueline Strohauer Lenox, 94, of Princeton, New Jersey, passed away on January 4, 2026 after a brief illness. A longtime resident of Princeton, Jacki was known for her grace, elegance, and generous spirit. She was a wonderful hostess who took great joy in entertaining people in her beautiful home. Her rich social life and countless friends attest to her kindness and wit.

A dedicated public servant, Jacki taught elementary school for 40 years and loved her students. She was a gifted teacher who inspired her students as many went on to become teachers, school administrators, public servants, and lifelong friends who kept in touch with her, and celebrated life’s milestones with her, until her passing.

Jacki had a philanthropic spirit and enjoyed membership in many clubs, including Daughters of the American Revolution, The Boheme Opera Guild, and Soroptimist International of Princeton.

Jacki had an innate artistic flair and enjoyed decorating not only her own home but also countless friends’ homes. She also took painting lessons later in life and her paintings of beautiful flowers now hang in many friends’ homes: a lovely remembrance of a dear friend.

Jacki was predeceased by her husband, The Honorable Samuel D. Lenox, Jr., whom she supported with unwavering devotion throughout his distinguished career.

She is survived by her daughter, Linda Fair Lenox; nieces Cynthia Lee Ahrens (John), Barbara Geraghty, and Lyn Arnold; nephews David Strohauer (Lisa), and Mark Strohauer. She is also survived by lifelong teaching friends, also known as The Four Muskatells: Patricia Duda, Concetta Maglione, and Marlene Kish. And, finally, she is survived by students she taught decades ago who absolutely adored her: Fran Perlstein Prentice, Karen O’Meara, Linda Jusiewicz, Jane Simpson, and Dana Fraytak Troiano.
