Elizabeth Sublett, devoted mother, school counselor
For the past couple of years, Fridays have been baseball cap day at River Ridge Elementary School in Villa Hills.
Kids were allowed to wear their baseball caps to show their love and support for Elizabeth Casolari Sublett as she underwent cancer treatments. On Saturday, the popular guidance counselor lost her battle with the disease. Mrs. Sublett, 40, of Florence, died at her home.
Current third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at the school have worked with Mrs. Sublett, said her husband, Chester, "Chet" A. Sublett.
Mrs. Sublett was so loved at the school that officials are bringing in counselors today to help kids deal with their grief, said Mr. Sublett.
"She was absolutely the most outgoing person one could ever meet," he said. "She always turned a negative situation into a good situation. She had a gift for making people feel at ease."
She had been fighting cancer for 3 1/2 years. She worked until Tuesday.
Mr. Sublett said that a relative said this week that his wife "had the most grace and courage of anyone she'd ever seen." Mr. Sublett agreed.
"We were told a couple of times she wouldn't go back to work," he said.
In addition to her work at River Ridge, she had also been a guidance counselor with Conner and Scott high schools.
Mrs. Sublett was a member of First Church of Christ, Burlington.
She enjoyed sewing but spent most of her time taking her daughters Sherry Lynn and Amber Marie, who are 15-year-old twins, and Lauren Elaine, 10, to school activities including softball, band, dance, cheerleading and track.
In addition to her husband and daughters, Mrs. Sublett is survived by her parents, Lawrence and Wilma Casolari of Oven Fork; brothers, Lawrence J. Casolari Jr. of Oven Fork and Curt Casolari of Louisville.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Chambers and Grubbs Funeral Home, Florence.
Visitation will be from 4 to 8 tonight at the funeral home. Burial will be in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Erlanger.
Memorials are suggested to Cancer Family Care, 7162 Reading Road, Suite 150, Cincinnati, Ohio 45237.
