Catherine Margaret Piazza Lucia passed away peacefully at home, as were her final wishes, on Saturday, April 25, 2020 at the age of 80. She was a native of New Orleans, LA, and resided in Arabi, LA, for most of her life. Catherine was preceded in death by her parents, Wilton Dominick Sr. and Marguerite Melazzo Dominick. She was the devoted wife of Carlo Lucia Jr for 60 years; the loving and free advice-giving mother of Ryan Lucia (Lori) and Troy Lucia (Jennifer); sister of Antonina P. Trahan (Jimmy), Geraldine P. Guarino (James), Pauline P. Abney (Melvin), Brenda D. Trahan (Paul) and Wilton Dominick Jr. (Leesa); sister-in-law to Carol L. Derbyshire (Bobby); adoring grandmother of Craig, Lauren, Colby (Brittany), Briggs, and Bella; great-grandmother of Pierson, Brayden, Kade, and Paisley; and a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. Catherine was affectionately known as Maw Maw, Mawzie, and Mimi by her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She treasured the many opportunities she had to be a part of their daily lives and was sure to be found sitting in the first row. Catherine loved cooking Sunday dinners with her family around the table; her iced tea was always a hit. She was a devout Catholic and attended of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Church in Chalmette, LA. Catherine was also President of Grandparents Club of St. Bernard. For most of her life, her biggest job was being a homemaker, Head Grandmother/ Push-Over and Childcare Director of Camp Lucia. She saw the best in everyone she encountered; humanity lost a genuine soul. Due to recent health concerns, a memorial service will be held at a later date.
