Luci DiRico went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 29, 2007 surrounded by her loving family following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Summit, New Jersey, she was the daughter of Nancy C. Stuart of Cogan Station and the late Byron D. Stuart. She was the wife of John M. DiRico with whom she would have celebrated 27 years of marriage on July 26. Luci is also survived by her son John M. of Wayne, Pa and her daughter Katherine R. at home.

Luci's family was always her first priority. She was a caring and loving wife and mother. Supporting and cheering on her children through their many experiences was one of her greatest joys.

Luci was a teacher in the Manheim Township School District for the past twelve years. She had also taught in the Lower Dauphin School District following graduation from Elizabethtown College.

Luci is also survived by four sisters, Nancy Lutz, wife of Richard, of Charlottesville, VA; Ethel Ruddy, wife of Thomas, of Washington, NJ; Janette Brelsford, wife of John, of Cogan Station, PA; and Sarah Stuart of Williamsport, PA; two brothers, Byron Stuart, husband of Bonnie, of Trout Run, PA; Bruce Stuart, husband of Jennifer of Cogan Station, PA; mother and father in law John and Sally DiRico, of Nuangola, PA; and two brothers and sisters in law, Robert and Wendy DiRico, of Wayne, PA and Joseph and Marilyn Hower, of Quakertown, PA.
