Lucy was a talented writer and found purpose in writing handwritten cards to family and friends celebrating all occasions. \n\nLucy loved going to garage sales, doing puzzles, playing cards, having a glass of Amaretto, wearing themed outfits and earrings and going out for coffee. Grounded in her deep faith, Lucy loved fierce.\n\nLucy is survived by her husband, Robert (Bob) Calabria; her beloved children, son, Anthony (Tony) Calabria and his wife, Kelly Calabria, daughter, Stephanie Johnson, and son, Brian Calabria and his wife, Sonja Calabria; her sister, Julia Peppersack; seven grandchildren: Kayla Miller, her husband Josh, Ben Calabria, Chris Johnson, Evan Calabria, Nicholas Johnson, Liam Calabria and Josie Calabria; her brand new great-grandson, Hudson James Miller; her sweet pup, Lola; and many adored friends.\n\nA visitation will be held Friday, May 8 at Saint Ann Catholic Church in Clayton, NC, from 11 a.m. - noon, a funeral mass at noon, followed by the inurnment in the Calabria niche and a reception at 1 p.m. \n\nFlowers may be sent to St. Ann Catholic Church in Clayton, NC.
