Family was utmost important. Lucia was always ready to host an impromptu gathering of friends or family or "Grand gatherings", Thanksgiving and Christmas to be remembered as chaotic, joyful and sacred.

While raising her daughters, Lucia worked as a private secretary for Dr. Vladimir Kolton for 38 years. Whatever she did, she did well.

Love for her Church and awe of its eternal majesty and mystery were always in her heart.

Lucia shared boundless expressions of love for the "little ones" everyone's children. Truly they were her kindred spirit. The spirit now lovingly embraced by her "Heavenly Father". Eternal peace and joy are her rewards.
