Rita M. Lucchino

d. October 19, 2020

Rita Lucchino, who lived to count 91 years, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2020. The daughter of Frank and Margaret Chianese, she graduated from Elizabeth Seton High School in 1947. She married the late John Robert Lucchino on September 1, 1951.

Rita volunteered with the Greater Pittsburgh Guild for the Blind for 10 years. In her leisure she enjoyed music, playing in card clubs, and travel. Some of her favorite locations included the South West, Alaska, and Europe. Rita was a longtime member of the Woman's Club of Upper St. Clair.
