Lucille M. Veader formerly of East Boston residing in Reading, MA for many years, passed away peacefully in her own home on the 19^th of November 2019, surrounded by her closest cousins and loved ones.

Rizzo, and John Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline Kennedy. Lucille is also survived by many cousins and special friends.

                As we all know how steadfast and strong-willed Lucille was, she had a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. She adored her young cousins, Analise Sciuto, Gillian Sciuto, Michael Sciuto, Leah Kennedy and Luke Kennedy. She was known to have an abundant display of all their photos throughout her home. Lucille frequently spent her time surrounded by much of her family and friends, gathered around the table telling stories, sharing laughs, and drinking Lucille’s famous Brandy Alexander.
