Lucia was born and raised in Poland where she attended schools and obtained her bachelor's degree in education. She began a career in Poland as a schoolteacher when she met her husband, got married and in 1961, she immigrated to the United States and settled in Chelsea. In 1968, Lucia became a United States Citizen and her proudest and first civic duty as a citizen was to cast her vote in the presidential election for Lyndon Johnson. Lucia and her husband raised their family in Chelsea, where they remained as longtime residents. Aside from being a devoted wife and mother, she worked as a nursing assistant at the Chelsea Jewish Nursing Home for over 20 years. Lucia was most happy when she was surrounded by her family and loved ones. Her biggest honor was becoming a grandmother, and she cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren.

Lucia enjoyed traveling after her husband passed away and traveled a few times back to Poland to visit her family. She loved to sing and enjoyed talking to everyone she met. She was a kind, funny and a caring person.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Woburn Nursing care center, especially Martha, William, Rose and Joyce RN, who took excellent care of her.
