Lucille’s early years laid the foundation of her enduring faith and character. She graduated from St. Rose of Lima School in 1956, carrying forward the values instilled there throughout her life. A proud member of the Maloney High School Class of 1960, Lucille was affectionately named “Most Shy” by her classmates.

She leaves behind her treasured grandchildren: Taylor Durost (Marisa Sevigny), Mason Durost, Haley Durost, Cayman Durost, Sydney (Justin) Ariani, Jack Durost, and Caroline Durost. She will also be lovingly remembered by her nephews, Stanley, Peter, and Michael Otlowski and the entire Otlowski family.

She was predeceased by her dear sisters, Josephine Otlowski and Patricia Horozy, who were not only family but her closest friends.

Lucille found great joy in the company of her family, preparing delicious Italian meals, and generously knitting and crocheting blankets for those in need. In her youth, she enjoyed many summer gatherings at their family home in Old Saybrook, or at the family-owned Angelo’s Snack Bar in Meriden.
