SANDWICH — Lucille Chunis, 87, passed away Oct. 22, 2007.

She was born, raised and educated in the Boston area. She was the wife of Theodore Chunis, to whom she was married for 32 years, until his death in 1980. Lucille and her husband owned and operated the Queen Mary Grill in Montreal, Canada, in the early years of their marriage. Upon returning to the Boston area they owned and operated 40 Broad Street Restaurant in Boston's financial district, and a second restaurant on Francis Street in the hospital district.

Before her marriage, Mrs. Chunis worked for the Commandant at the Boston Naval Shipyard, as a real estate broker for Better Homes and Gardens, and for the social security administration. They retired to Cape Cod where she worked for Northeast Fisheries division of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In that position, she manned radio communication between the Fisheries and Russian ships as well as other nation's ships traveling near U.S. waters. Lucille also worked part time for the Cape Cod Times in the circulation department.

She is survived by her nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and nephews. Lucille was predeceased by her siblings, Rita Lenos, Alice Karchenes, William Karchenes and Arthur Karchenes.
