With broken hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved wife, mother and
grandmother, Lucy Iannicello (nee Longo), on March 1, 2025, at the age of 74. After a
courageous battle with cancer, she left this world in the comfort of her own home, surrounded
by love.
Born on March 10, 1950, in Molinara, Italy, Lucy was a shining light to everyone who knew
her. At the age of three, she embarked on a ten-day voyage to Canada, holding her mother’s
hand as they sailed across the ocean to reunite with her father, who anxiously awaited their
arrival. The family settled in St. Catharines, where Lucy grew up, spending her days studying,
helping her parents around the house, and enjoying precious time with her best friend and sister,
Carm. At 19, Lucy began her teaching career at Denis Morris High School.
In 1972, she married her one true love, Dan, and together they moved to Chatham to begin their life together.
Lucy would go on to spend the rest of her teaching career with the Lambton Kent District
School Board, where she took great pride in serving her students and their families.
Motherhood and grandmotherhood were Lucy’s greatest joys; her four children and nine
grandchildren were her world. She was the heart of her home, offering unwavering love,
guidance, and support to all who knew her. Even in the face of illness, Lucy remained a beacon
of grace and strength, displaying quiet courage and fierce determination. Her home was a
sanctuary of warmth where everyone felt seen, heard, and loved. Lucy’s smile, bright eyes and
nurturing spirit will be deeply missed. Yet her legacy of resilience and love will forever live in
the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be touched by such a remarkable woman.
Lucy is predeceased by her parents, the late Incoranata (Baldino) and Donato Longo. She will
be forever missed by her children; Daniella (Tony) Mancusi, Joanna (Shawn) Gee, Erica (Scott)
Rutgers and Diodoro (Mercy) Iannicello. Loving Nonna to Lucia, Francesca, Cora, Adrian,
Luisa, Claudia, Catharine, Matteo and Nico. Loving sister Carm (Gary) Oblinsky will miss her
deeply. Also sadly missed by her in-laws, Lucy (Frank) Pranovi.
