Lucille Amicone

Lucille Amicone, of Flushing, NY passed away on April 3, 2024. Lucille was born on August 15, 1932, to Frank and Ermelinda Amicone. She was the oldest of four sisters. Lucille graduated from Hunter College with a degree in education and went on to touch the lives of many students in her science classes in NYC public schools. In 1991 Lucille retired from teaching and spent her time traveling, playing golf and tennis. She especially enjoyed entertaining friends and family, preparing meals with great care. Her holiday cranberry side dish could not be replicated. Her passion for gardening, however, was what gave her the utmost joy. Once the weather turned warm, she could be seen in her garden every day.

Lucille was unique in her unwavering commitment to her faith and to her church. She was known for her charitable giving towards individuals and was committed to numerous charitable organizations. Lucille was an intelligent and soft-spoken woman who was welcoming and obliging towards friends, family, neighbors, and newcomers as well. Lucille Amicone will be forever remembered and sorely missed by all those whose lives she touched.

Devoted to her three sisters, Lucille was predeceased by her sisters Frances and Norma Amicone. She leaves behind her youngest sister Ann Amicone, who lovingly dedicated her care to Lucille for the last months of her life. Also left behind are Noelle, Laina, Christopher, Crista and Nico, the children who were blessed to be embraced by their beloved Aunt Lu. They, and their parents Patrice, Anthony, Steven, and Mary will always be grateful for the active role she played in their lives.
