Lukeina “Lucky” DiFulco Sharp was born September 6, 1925, and passed away November 4, 2019, at the age of 94. She lived independently in her long-time home in Metairie, assisted by her brother, Charlie, in the last months of her life.
Lucky Sharp was the daughter of the late Carlo and Frances DiFulco, whom she lovingly cared for in their later years. In addition to her brother, Charles DiFulco, she is survived by many nieces and nephews. They and her many friends will miss her frequent, caring, and light-hearted telephone visits. Lucky loved playing the piano, mandolin, and accordion, especially with her late brothers, Paul, Joseph, and Luke DiFulco. With her mother, she helped prepare amazing weekend feasts for the entire family.
For 37 years, she worked for the New Orleans Port of Embarkation as a federal civil service employee, where she was a logistics management specialist. In her younger days, Lucky was an ardent member and treasurer of a Saints fan club, travelling with them for out of town games and even to London. Lucky treasured her lifelong friendships. She will be greatly missed.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Lucky’s life and wish her farewell at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans, LA 70124 on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 from 10 AM to 12 PM. A graveside service will follow at noon.
