Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Friend
Swedesboro, NJ | 1932 – 2025
Lucy Providence Capri (nee: Nicolosi), 93, of Swedesboro, NJ, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at home. A proud and devoted woman of faith, Lucy lived a long, beautiful life filled with warmth, laughter, and love.
Born and raised in Swedesboro, Lucy was a spirited and athletic woman who proudly carried her full-blooded Italian heritage. She was a proud graduate of Swedesboro High School, excelling in both academics and sports while also cherishing and maintaining her friendships throughout her life. Lucy was the heart of her family and the soul of every Sunday dinner, known far and wide for her incredible cooking, generous heart, and timeless beauty.
Lucy was the beloved wife of the late Rosario Capri (Sarge) and the cherished mother of Russell Capri (Kim), Luanne Capri(Gary), Gina Capri Murdock, and her cat Rommel. She was the proud grandmother of Jarrod, Ali, and Paige, each of whom adored their "Mommom" and carried her strength and spirit forward. She is also survived by her sister Rose Capallano. In addition to her parents, Alfio and Rose Nicolosi, her siblings Sarah Mangano, Alfio Nicolosi, Benny Nicolosi, Mary Monte, Grace (Dottie) Nicolosi, Frank Nicolosi, Millie Sarni, Margie Curtis, and son-in-law Edward Murdock predeceased her.
Whether cheering from the sidelines, preparing feasts no one could rival, or simply offering a listening ear and words of wisdom, Lucy lived every day with passion and purpose. She was deeply devoted to her Catholic faith, as a lifetime parishioner at St. Joseph's RC Church in Swedesboro, as well as working in the rectory for over twenty years. Furthermore, her home was one of comfort, tradition, and endless love.
She will be remembered for her resilience, elegance, fierce family loyalty, and the joy she brought into every room she entered. Her legacy will live on in the meals we cook, the stories we tell, and the love that binds our family.
