Andy Cousin

Andy was born on April 23, 1948. He attended Archbishop Rummel High School and later proudly served his country in the U.S. Army before building a long career as a dedicated business owner. A man of many passions, he especially enjoyed hunting and traveling, pursuits that reflected his adventurous spirit and love of the outdoors.

Above all, Andy was devoted to his family. He especially cherished his role as “Paw Paw” and delighted in spending time with his grandchildren. Whether playing, laughing, or simply being present, he loved every moment he could share with them.

Andy was also known for his quiet generosity. His compassion and willingness to help others were hallmarks of his character.

Andy is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Linda Crusta Cousin; his children Michael Cousin, Christi Cousin (Richy Farah), and Matthew Cousin (Brandi); and his cherished grandchildren Sophia Cousin, Miles Cousin, Oliver Farah, Alexander Farah, and Mason Cousin. He is also survived by his siblings Cornelius Cousin (Carol), Joyce Cypert and Philip Cousin, mother-in-law Shirley Crusta Leblanc, brothers-in-law Richard Crusta (Charlotte), Thomas Crusta (William), David Crusta (Marlene), along with many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Cornelius and Eunice Cousin; his brother Joe Cousin, father-in-law Cosmo Crusta and his brother-in-law Robert Crusta, Sr.

Those who knew Andy will remember him for his strong work ethic, his devotion to family, his generous spirit, and his warm, steady presence. He leaves behind a legacy of strength, loyalty, and love that will be deeply missed.

The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses on the 7th floor of East Jefferson Hospital for their loving support.
