Lucy R. Rooney

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Mrs. Rooney was an original Levittown homeowner in Bristol Township until moving to Morrisville in 1988. She was a dedicated and faithful member of Holy Trinity Parish.

An avid reader, Mrs. Rooney also enjoyed writing letters. She never forgot anyone's birthday. She loved crocheting lap blankets and found great pleasure in being able to provide the veterans in the veteran homes with them.

Mrs. Rooney also enjoyed making banana bread which she would take to the Sisters at the Monastery of Saint Clare in Langhorne.

She traveled the world with her late husband, making friends everywhere, and then would remain in touch with those many new found friends.

Mrs. Rooney loved cheering for her beloved Phillies.

She is the beloved wife of the late Thomas F.; loving mother of the late Michael K. Rooney; and sister of the late Anthony, Rita and Carmella.
