She was predeceased by her husband, Jose; infant daughter, Nadia and infant grandson, Peter Paterno, Jr. Lucy was a loving mother and always put her children first. She enjoyed cooking for her family and all of their friends. If at any time you walked through her front door, she was definitely feeding you at least a 3 course meal. She also enjoyed reading and relaxing at the beach. Lucy was a big fan of Elvis and jazz music. She always knew what to say to lift your spirits and once she started laughing, it was hard to get her to stop. She will be tremendously missed by all who knew her.
