Lucienne Rappaport Obituary

Lucienne P. Rappaport, age 83, suddenly passed away in her home on May 29, 2020 in N. Whitehall. Originally from Switzerland, "Coco" married Dr. Melvin Rappaport and moved to America as a young bride. She is survived by her three children Dr. Daniel Rappaport and his wife Christine, David Rappaport and his wife Cheryl, and Ruth Rappaport and her partner Rob. Her six petits coquelets are Benjamin, Alexandra, Gabrielle, Seth, Samuel and her beloved Yorkie Schatzi. In addition to her husband, she is predeceased by her parents Emile and Rose-Clara Ferarri and her sister Roseline Morel.

Lucienne was a beacon of light among all who knew her. She shared her joie de vivre through her lifelong work as an artist and instructor. Her talent inspired many to continue her creative legacy. She was the epitome of all that was loving, kind and beautiful in the world. Lucienne will be deeply missed and her loving family strives to get through their loss, as she would say, "one square at a time."

Services: A private celebration of her life will be held at a future date.

Contributions: Rather than flowers, we ask that any donations in Lucienne's honor be sent to either the American Cancer Society or The Sanctuary at Haafsville Animal Shelter. 

Arrangements were made by Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Home, Allentown.

Dearest David, Cheryl, Ben, Ali~
We are so sorry for the sudden loss of your beloved mother, Lucienne. Indeed she lit up not only any room she stepped into, but brightened the spirits of those blessed to share her company. The beautiful art she created was a direct reflection of her brightness and optimism. We are among the lucky to have one of her florals adorn our home. It makes us smile and give thanks for knowing her. God Bless your family and you are in our hearts and prayers. Hug, Kathi and Larry
