Lucia was best known for being an abundantly caring and devoted member of her family. She was known for her cooking skills which were shown especially during family gatherings. Thanksgiving, and other holidays her Molé was most famous. She loved spending time gardening with her husband and was always a very big fan of flowers. Lucia also loved to travel, and go out to restaurants with her whole family for birthdays and anniversaries. She had a welcoming smile which could light up a room. Lucia’s kindness made her a staple in the neighborhood, where all of her neighbors would call her “Mama Lucy”. She had a passion for life and lived her life to the fullest. Her kindness, comfort, and love will be greatly missed.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Robert Warren Schubert for all of his years of wonderful care.
