Lucy will be remembered as a loving, dedicated mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

She enjoyed writing, playing the piano, singing, visits to Atlantic City with her family, cooking and baking, and spending time with her children and grandchildren.

She was known for a sense of humor that surfaced at the most unexpected moments and her whimsical flights of imagination.

Her Catholic faith was the center of Lucy’s life and the gift she most wished to pass on. The family finds comfort in the Church’s promise that those who die in the Lord live in Him.
