Lucille Calabree of Newtown, formerly of Holland, died peacefully on Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 at Pickering Manor Home, Newtown. She was 92.

Born in Philadelphia, Lucille was the beloved wife of the late Leonard B. and dearest daughter of the late Ercole and Guilia Mannella DiSante.

Lucille was a resident of Holland for 29 years before moving to Newtown two years ago. Lucille, as she was known to family and friends, worked for many years as a sale associate for Lit Brothers and Gimbels Department stores in Philadelphia.

She had a magic touch with a needle and thread. Her talent was fabulous, whether sewing or cooking, and she loved to do both.

Lucille was a communicant of St. Bede the Venerable Church and was active with the Young at Heart Club.

Lucille is survived by her devoted children, Julia R. Manieri and her husband, Victor and Leonard A. Calabree and his wife, Joan. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Jennifer (Thomas Fetterolf), Michael Manieri, Elizabeth (Robert Kemmery), Kristin (Terry Royce), Lauren, and six great-grandchildren, Caroline, James, Michaela, Kristian, Ashley and Tyler.
