Lucille Grimes Obituary

March 21, 1922 - October 18, 2017 Lucille "Lucy" Solari Grimes, who enjoyed a long and fulfilling career in the Entertainment Industry, transitioned to her new life on October 18, 2017 at her home in Redondo Beach. She was 95. Lucy was born in Giubiasco, Switzerland on March 21, 1922, and came to California as a child. She worked for the San Francisco Museum of Art from 1957 to 1964. Relocating to Southern California, Lucy spent 30 years in television and motion picture production for ABC-TV, Warner Bros., and Sony Pictures. She worked as a Production Coordinator, Assistant to the Producer, and Atmosphere Casting Director on a variety of productions such as The Young Marrieds, Day in Court, General Hospital, and The Young & the Restless. A strong activist, dedicated to her family and friends, Lucy was generous, full of kindness and joy, and always willing to help others. A rosary is scheduled for Monday, October 23, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a funeral mass at 11:00, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Glendale. A cemetery service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, immediately follows. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Stanford University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (med.stanford.edu/adrc.html) or to Feeding America (feedingamerica.org).

Lucille and my mom Elvezia became fast friends when she moved to South Pasadena. Both born in Ticino, Switzerland, mom described Lucille as the “kindest and most loving friend she ever had.” I was saddened to just now learn of her passing. Condolences to Cheryl and Gary.

To Cheryl, Gary & Family:

My prayers are with you during this difficult time of loss. Lucy was a great and loving person who made a great impact on me and my family. My Mom, Dad and Sister all loved her very much. She brightened our lives with love and by sharing her wonderful family with us. Lucy will be greatly missed and I know she is now in Heaven in peace. I will always remember her and all that she has done for me in my life. God Bless.
