She graduated Case High School in Swansea and was a diligent housekeeper at Morton Hospital in Taunton. Lucia loved the beach, her garden, animals and most importantly her family. She was adored by all, as her smile would light up any room. Lucia was the mother of Paul Lemelin of Swansea and Faith Lemelin of Dighton. The sister of Anna Silvia, Sandra Silva, Joe Sousa and Mario Sousa. Grandmother to Evangeline Lemelin. There will be a celebration of life held for Lucia Arruda at a later date.
