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!
