Lucia earned her nursing degree from St Joseph’s and a BSN from St Joseph’s College Maine.  She was a champion for a mother’s rights during birth and brought many new lives into this world in her time at both St. Clair Hospital and Allegheny General Hospital where she was a pioneer in helping to develop patient databases and computer charting. Lucia was a bright light, devoted to her family, friends and community.  She will be remembered for her selflessness and genuine love and kindness which enveloped everyone she met.  She believed in the power and beauty of the Blessed Mother and always sent you on your way with an army of angels to watch over you.  Lucia was proof that angels walked this earth. She faced every challenge with courage and boundless faith.  And now to her we say “Angels Be With You”. Friends will be received at Laughlin Cremation & Funeral Tributes, 222 Washington Road, Mt.
