Charlene Luchko Obituary
Charlene Luchko, 77, of Dunmore, died Tuesday at Geisinger CMC, Scranton. She was married to the late Robert P. Luchko. The couple celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary on Sept. 7 of this year.
Charlene was born in Dunmore, daughter of the late Michael and Mary Vavrick Sibio. She was a graduate of Dunmore High School. Before Charlene's retirement, she was employed by the Gertrude Hawk candy company. She was a red coat supervisor. She was a huge football fan and could be spotted at Dunmore Bucks games or arena football with Susan, Becky, Tom and Jason. Her favorite team was whatever ones her grandsons were playing on followed closely by the Dallas Cowboys, who couldn't hold a candle to her grandsons, but she followed them anyway. She loved finding treasure at auctions with her husband and at yard sales with Robin on the weekends.
She made sure her grandchildren knew they were loved and taken care of, whether it was a snack or full-on meal. "I'm hungry Gigi, what do you have to eat?" was a very common phrase, one which she truly loved hearing. Not a shopping trip was complete without stocking up on fruit for the kids because she couldn't disappoint them if they showed up at the house. "There's always more at Gigi's" became our motto.
She is survived by her three daughters, Robin Luchko and husband, Thomas Fritz of Dickson City, Susan Luchko and husband, Allan Miller of Dunmore, and Becky Richardson and husband, Jason of Dunmore; grandchildren, Alayna, Logan and Jake; brothers, John and Richard Sibio; and a sister, Diane Gleason, all of Dunmore; a cousin, the Rev. Michael Lepa; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was also previously deceased by brothers, Joseph, Mike, Al and Bobby; and sisters, Claire Boise, Ann Turasky, Josephine Coleman, Mary "Tess" Sibio and Stella Provinzano.
The funeral will be Wednesday with Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in Immaculate Conception Church, 802 Taylor Ave., Scranton. Interment, Dunmore Cemetery.
Friends and family are invited for visitation Tuesday, 4 to 8 p.m. at the Morell-LaBelle Funeral Home, 301 Chestnut St., Dunmore.
