Lucille A. Banick, 91, Scranton, passed away peacefully into the arms of the Lord and in the company of family, after a brief illness.<\/p>\n
\nBorn in Scranton on April 28, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Jacob and Mary Banick. She was a graduate of Scranton Technical High School, Class of 1952.<\/p>\n
\nLucille worked in the fabric and garment industry for many years and was employed at Feibus & Co. for 28 years as a store manager. She enjoyed her work and formed lasting friendships with many customers and co-workers that continued throughout her life.<\/p>\n
\nA woman of deep faith, Lucille was an outgoing, kindhearted, and generous woman to all who knew her. She was active in numerous organizations, charities and social groups throughout her life. She was also a devoted caregiver to her mother and her sister, Lillian, enabling them to remain at home with loving care.<\/p>\n
\nShe had a love for baking, especially her often-requested, famous chocolate chip cookies, as well as tending to her flower and vegetable gardens and enjoying calligraphy classes during her retirement years. She was also a lifelong animal lover, and her cats and dogs brought her much joy and companionship.<\/p>\n
\nLucille was preceded in death by brother, Paul; and sisters, Lillian Banick, Marianne Schaefferkoetter, June Kruty and Theresa Petula. She is survived by brother-in-law Girard Petula, as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom were very dear to her.<\/p>\n
