Caiazzo, Lucia “Lucy” (Santilli)
Of Clearwater, FL., formerly of Everett, on June 17, age 99. Beloved wife of the late Louis Caiazzo. Loving mother of Matilda Judge of Attleboro, Father Nicholas Caiazzo of Everett, Marie Williams and her husband Jerry of Billerica, Rita Constantine and her husband David of Palm Harbor, FL and Louis Caiazzo of Clearwater, FL. Daughter of the late Carmine and Vincenza (DiMuzio) Santilli. Sister of the late Gregory, Chester, Marc-Antonio & Edmund Santilli, Philomenia Patuleia and Nellie Macaluso-DiGiacomo. Also survived by 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
A wake service will be held on Monday, June 23 in St. Anthony Church, 38 Oakes Street, Everett at 9:00 am, immediately followed by a Funeral Mass at 10:00 am. Relatives and friends are invited. Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery, Malden.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lucy’s memory may be made to Alzheimer's Association, 480 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA 02472 or St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
Lucy was a great cook! Everyone loved her meatballs and gravy. Family members would arrive at her house on Sunday morning for tastings. She was a chef at Rico’s Restaurant in Everett Square and Triccia’s Restaurant in Malden.
Lucy enjoyed listening to Opera and would always sing around the house. Her favorite Opera was Madame Butterfly. When visiting LaScala Opera House in Milan, she actually sang outside with her beautiful voice. She loved Elvis Presley and went to see him in concert at Boston Garden.
Lucy was a mesmerizing storyteller and natural born teacher who loved to go to the museums in Boston. She was proud to watch her son Father Nicholas serve Mass at her childhood church, St. Leonard’s in the North End.
Lucy was a liberated, independent woman who instilled in her children a love of life, travel, and always encouraged them to follow their dreams. Our mother loved her family and would visit all her brothers and sisters by taking “public transportation” because she never drove a car.
I Love Lucy! Everyone loved Auntie Lucy! Nanny Lucia will be missed by her grandchildren and great grandchildren!

Thinking of you all this morning and sending loving prayers. I am so sorry I cannot be there with you. I loved Aunt Lucy so much…. such spirit and energy she made our times together full of fun. When she and my mother Nellie got together there was lots of lively conversation and laughter. I fondly remember my childhood visits to Aunt Lucy's house, listening to her stories and having cocoa and toast in the cozy kitchen. She was a light in my life and I will always treasure the memories of our time together.
