Patricia Ann Lucido

Patricia Ann Lucido, a 40-year resident of El Granada, died April 16 at the Valley Point nursing home in Castro Valley, after battling Alzheimer's disease. She was 87.

Mrs. Lucido was born in Pittsburg, Calif., and grew up in San Francisco. She married her husband, Bert Lucido, on Feb. 20, 1938.

The couple lived in San Francisco but frequently came down the coast to visit Mrs. Lucido's brother-in-law, a local fisherman. They liked the area and, in 1964, moved their family here. Mrs. Lucido lived in El Granada until relocating to Castro Valley in 2004.

She worked in factories and canneries, and for more than 30 years for the White Stagg Manufacturing Company as a sales associate. Upon leaving that work, she devoted herself to home and family as a full-time homemaker.

"She was a great cook, best known for her homemade raviolis, said her daughter, Mary Ann Utz of Half Moon Bay. "She loved her family."

Mrs. Lucido tended to put others first, said her daughter.

"She was always thinking of other people," Utz said. "She did so much for her family. She always came second."

Mrs. Lucido is preceded in death by her son, Joe Lucido, who died in Vietnam, and her siblings Joe Aiello, Mamie Calcagno and Jennie Hargens.

She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Bert Lucido of El Granada, and her daughter and son-in-law, Mary Ann and Bob Utz of Half Moon Bay. She is survived by grandchildren Ed and KC Lucido of Oakley, Calif. and Mike and Debbie Utz of El Granada, and great-grandchildren Carina, Mikaila, Dante, Dominic and Diovanni Lucido and Tyler and Ashley Utz.

She is also survived by siblings Peter Aiello of Millbrae and Jack Aiello of San Bruno, Nora Gambino and Mary Menicucci, both of San Francisco, and many nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews.

Visitation will be held Thursday afternoon, April 30, at 3 p.m., followed by a Rosary service at 8 p.m., at Miller-Dutra Coastside Chapel in Half Moon Bay. A blessing service will he held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 21, at the All Saints Chapel at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma.
