We were saddened to hear about Lucina's passing. We worked with her at B&W for many years. She had a great sense of humor and kept things lively at work. She was our queen of the computer center. She will be dearly missed by those who knew her. God bless the family during this time of sorrow.

Lucina Roth and I worked together at B&W. She was a special wonderful leader. I owe a lot of my success to some of the things she taught me during my early years of my career. God Bless Lunica.

I have so many fond memories of Lucina when she would drive Sue and myself to UL Light. The ride was always a bright spot to my day where Lucina would always have a beautiful smile and give us words of encouragement to do well in school. Just speaking with Lucina you knew she was brilliant woman, but also a woman of faith and character.

Aunt Cina did so many thoughtful things for her nieces and nephews. She took me to Bayonne, NJ when I was 11 years old to meet her cousins and Aunts. She then took me into NYC for the first time to see the Empire State building and from that point on I realized that I loved NYC. From there we met the whole Roth family at the beach in North Wildwood, NJ. So many fond memories. Cina was a strong, intelligent and giving woman who loved God and most of all her family. Rest in Peace Aunt Cina. Love, Joannie

She was best known at Aunt Cina from all of her neices and nephews. We grew up in awe of a woman who worked, traveled, was care giver, and shared her talents in so many ways. Her presence and generousity will never be forgotten, We are currently in Cape May,NJ one of her favorie places. As we return home for her funeral, we will leave a prayer and lighted candle for her at Our Lady Star of the Sea. Rest in Peace, Aunt Cina.
