Lucia Crowley

Lucia Crowley, age 76, passed away peacefully on February 8th, after a period of declining health. She was the daughter of the late John T. Crowley and Louise (Buckley) Crowley of Fall River, MA, where Lucia was born and raised. A long-time resident of Weymouth, Lucia had resided at Brookdale Cushing Park Assisted Living in Framingham for the last two years to be near her sister Judy, with whom she was very close.

A 1965 graduate of B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River, Lucia always excelled academically. She went on to receive her bachelor's degree from Mount Holyoke College, and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth. Lucia enjoyed a long career in computer science and information technology, where she was always valued for her work ethic and vast knowledge of her field.

Lucia loved to travel, whether it was family trips to Disney World, exploring national parks with her best friends, or on safaris in Africa. She also enjoyed her yearly winter escapes to Aruba with her sister and brother-in-law, where she loved to relax and recharge. Lucia had a great affection for animals. She took pleasure in watching the birds in her yard, and over the years provided a wonderful home to many beloved rescue dogs who brought her much joy. She will be remembered for her sharp intellect, her quick wit, and her keen interest in learning about the world.

In addition to her parents, Lucia was predeceased by her brother John M. Crowley of Somerset, MA, and her sister Sheila (Crowley) Smith of Portsmouth, RI. She is survived by her sister Judith (Crowley) Bolick and her husband Steve Bolick of Framingham, MA, sister-in-law Gail Crowley of Somerset, MA, and brother-in-law Arthur Smith of Portsmouth, RI. Additionally, she left seven nieces and nephews and their spouses, as well as eight grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Part of a very large extended family, Lucia also leaves one aunt and many, many cousins, as well as some dear friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate Lucia's life at a memorial service on April 20th at 11:00 AM at Waring-Sullivan Home at Cherry Place, 178 Winter Street, Fall River, MA.
