Interment will follow in Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home Sterlington Rd. Monroe.
Lucy died at home after a long illness on Monday, April 3, 2017. She was 89 years old. She was the beloved wife of the late Joseph C. Sampognaro, Jr.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Callie Medile.

She was born on April 25, 1927, in Beaumont, Texas, where she graduated from French High School. She had been a resident of Monroe since her marriage in 1949. She was a devoted member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church for the past 60 years. She was a wonderful homemaker, cook, seamstress, and gardener. She loved her cats and boxer dogs. All of us will miss the family gatherings on Sundays, for her famous spaghetti and meatballs. Life will never be the same for all of us who loved her.
