McDONALD -- Lucia Conti, 80, made her transition to her heavenly home, Friday afternoon, Dec. 29. 2023, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born Nov. 22, 1943, in Forli, del Sannio, in the Province of Isernia, Italy, the daughter of Angelo and Loretta Ricchiuti Antonelli.
Lucy came to the United States on a ship called Raffaella, in February 1966, and settled in the Mahoning Valley. She then met her beloved husband, Daniel J. Conti, and married Aug. 3, 1968. Together they began a family and Lucy took great pride in being a wife, homemaker, mother and grandmother. Her family was always her top priority and she looked forward to spending time with her daughters, but once she became a nonna, that was what she enjoyed most. She enjoyed her grandchildren's activities and was always so proud of them.
Lucy had such a strong faith in God and was devoted to reading the Bible and her subscription to "Our Daily Bread."
Lucy and Dan were snowbirds. Together they traveled the country in their motor coach from the East to West Coast, enjoying all the beautiful sites and cities. She also enjoyed boating, doing crossword puzzles, board games and shopping.
She leaves behind to hold onto her precious memories, her loving husband of over 55 years, Daniel J. Conti; two daughters, Antonella (Marco) Mediati of McDonald and Daniela (Steve) Price of North Jackson; her precious grandchildren, whom she adored, Marco, Gianna and Dante Mediati, and Gabriella, Olivia and Vincent Price; and her three sisters, Adele Antonelli, Michelina (Nino) Aresni and Patty Palmieri; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Besides her parents, Lucy was preceded in death by a sister, Maria Yacovone; and brother-in-law, Thomas Palmieri.
Family and friends may gather to pay their respects to Lucy, 9 to 9:55 a.m. Friday, Jan. 5, 2024, at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica, 343 Via Mount Carmel, Youngstown, followed by a funeral Mass at 10 a.m., with the Very Rev. Msgr. Michael J. Cariglio as celebrant.
Entombment will take place in Green Haven Memorial Gardens, Canfield.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the professional care of the Rossi & Santucci Funeral Home, 4221 Market St., Boardman.
Lucy's family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the entire staff of The Cleveland Clinic for all the care and compassion shown to Lucy and them throughout this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, material contributions may be made in Lucy's name to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, 13770 Noel Road, Suite 801889, Dallas, TX 75380; or the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, 230 E. Ohio St., Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60611.
