Lucille Cacciotti Obituary
October 16, 2024
AUBURN - Lucille V. (Manuelli) Cacciotti, 96, of Auburn, died a Queen's death, October 16, 2024 at Auburn Community Hospital.
She was born in Susquehanna, PA the daughter of the late Sabatino and Maria (Valentino) Manuelli. She attended Julia Richmond High School and City College of New York.
She was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church. Lucy previously worked for the Dept. of Motor Vehicles, was a Case Examiner for the Dept. of Social Services and co-owner of the former, fashion boutique, My Fair Lady in Auburn. Lucy's love of fashion came from working at Saks 5th Avenue. Nothing made Lucy happier then helping woman look and feel their best. Lucy worked at Wegmans for many years where she enthusiastically passed out food samples to customers.
Lucy was an active resident at The Edward T. Boyle Center for 21 years. She served as Tenant Representative, taught a writing class, sang with the Silver Songbirds and was involved in numerous activities. She was a prolific writer, poet, and member of the Toastmasters Club.
Lucy will be remembered for her vivacious, fun loving nature, and her positive attitude. She deeply touched the lives of countless people. Her faith was unshakeable. If there was a party or function, she was the "Life" of that party. She enjoyed playing cards with her friends and loved her trips to the casino. Lucy was truly a "Queen of Hearts". Grandma Lucy will lovingly be remembered by her grandchildren for singing Happy Birthday and You Are my Sunshine. Everyone LOVED Lucy!
She is survived by her three loving children: Nancy (Timothy) Chadwick, Edward (Lynn) Cacciotti, Diane (Michael) McKeon; eight grandchildren: Michael (Heather) Chadwick, Jennifer (Ken) Fasce, David (Amanda) Cacciotti, Michael (Ryann) Cacciotti, Jon (Megan) Cacciotti, Brian (Ashley) McKeon, Maggie (Matthew) Truax, Katy (Brian) Green; 21 great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren; one niece and several nephews.

Truly Lucy was all that you have shared and more! I have many fond memories of Lucy that go back to My Fair Lady and most recent one year ago when she came into The Center with some of her lady friends. I was so impressed at how she was still so feisty, active, and full of life and humor! What a wonderful legacy. May the memory of her love and life bring you peace. I wish I could attend her calling hours but I am currently traveling. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
