Lucille Dente Obituary
Lucille worked for many years as a Membership Director for the Yonkers, NY Chamber of Commerce prior to her retirement. Previously worked as office manager for a doctor's office located in Mount Vernon NY.
Lucille was a strong, nurturing woman whose deep love for her children and grandchildren was at the heart of everything she did. A true matriarch, she found joy in bringing her family together, especially during the holidays, when her home was filled with the warmth of her cooking and the laughter of those she loved most. Lucille was also a talented and creative soul who enjoyed painting in her free time, expressing herself through color and imagination. She found peace and happiness in nature, especially by the ocean, where she loved to sit quietly and take in the beauty of the water. Her strength, warmth, and loving spirit will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
Lucille is survived by her beloved sons Joseph Dente, Frank Dente and her daughter-in-law Donna Dente. Five cherished grandchildren; Frank Dente Jr., Juliana Dente, Corinne Dente, Joseph Dente Jr., and Anthony Dente. As well as 1 sister, Ann Marie Sposato and many additional family and friends. Lucille is predeceased by her daughter-in-law Andrea Dente and brothers Pat Colombo and Frank Colombo.
