Breaking their hearts, she drew her last breath there on Sunday, February 23, 2020---once again, much too early. TGH also eventually provided her with meaningful work, where she thrived in Electron Microscopy (EM Lab) in Pathology, breathing life into the tool that has proven so important in many diagnostic discoveries. Prior to that, Lucy also worked at Women’s College Hospital and Sunnybrook Hospital. Altogether, a 34-year dedicated career in EM where the patient was of paramount importance to her.
She married Stephen Roberts sixteen years ago, and, together, they made a loving home with Tiggy and Fluffy, two feral cats they rescued and tamed. She cultivated beautiful flowers and imagined up gorgeous jewelry for every friend to enjoy. She was gentle and kind; generous and humble; loyal and courageous. She leaves a huge dent in the hearts of her sisters Angie (Jordy) and Florence; her nephews, William, Lucas, Nolan, Evan, Austin; and her niece Kristen.
We would like to also thank the doctors, nurses, and all staff at the UHN Toronto General Hospital and Toronto Rehab for their sincere dedication, caring, and exceptional expertise.
Guests will be received at Delmoro Funeral Home, 61 Beverly Hills Dr. on February 28 from 2-4pm & 6-9 pm. The funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Jude’s Parish (3265 Weston Rd) on February 29 at 9:30 am. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery (8361 Yonge St, Thornhill).

IN MEMORIAM
February 23 & 27, 2021 (Toronto Star)
It has been a very long year of healing but the pain still feels like it just happened yesterday. You were given a wonderful gift of 59 years. You fought a short courageous battle to stay longer but God had different plans. You would always say that everything happens for a reason. While we do not know the reason, we will still need to believe even though we do not understand. We will not forget you and we will remember all the wonderful times together. You leave a legacy to your family, friends, colleagues, all those that have met you, as well as anyone touched by your work at UHN. You really loved flowers and we think of your great smile every time we see a beautiful blossom. We miss you very dearly. Your husband Stephen, your sisters Florence and Angie (Jordy), your niece and nephews, and, especially, your ever loving parents, Corona and Luigi, who brought you into this world.
