She had a passion for gardening and her beautiful gardens flowed with love and care. She also enjoyed music, and you could find her clapping and dancing at concerts. The theater was another place you would find her enjoying a musical or a play. An avid San Francisco 49-er fan, you could always find her on NFL Sunday sitting on the sofa wearing her red San Francisco 49-er Garfield sweatshirt. Win or lose she cheered and had fun. Lucy loved traveling, camping, and hiking with Emilio. They took many road trips across the country. Some of their most exciting trips were Niagara Falls, and hiking the Grand Canyon. She was a very sweet loving lady, was loved by all, and will be missed.
