Lucy Belle Milano Sotile, 91 years old, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, surrounded by her loving family, was called home by her Heavenly Father on April 12. Born in Donaldsonville, LA on May 13, 1927, Lucy Belle was a life-long parishioner of Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church where she was a member of RENEW Small Faith prayer group. She was also a charter member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas Chapter 2331. Lucy Belle was a voracious reader, wonderful cook of Italian cuisine, loved fresh flowers, and cherished time spent with her family and friends. One of her greatest pleasures was making things with her hands. Her children enjoyed the many wreaths she made from rose petals and all the crocheted ornaments and angels made as Christmas decorations.
Survivors include her sons; Glenn (Gene), Wayne (Mary), Steven (Christine) and daughters; Toni (Peter Ewen), Maria (Michael Jimenez), 12 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; brother, Mike Milano (Olga); sisters, Jackie (Irby Robert); and Beverly (Arnold LeBlanc).
Lucy Belle was preceded in death by her husband, Michael “Mitch” Sotile; her parents, Mike Milano, Sr. and Lucy Belle Messina Milano; and a sister, Mary “Teeda” Civello.
Visitation will be on Tuesday, April 16, 2019 at Ascension of our Lord Catholic Church in Donaldsonville, LA beginning at 10:30 AM followed by Christian Mass at 1:00 PM.
