It is with great sadness in our hearts we announce that Emma Lucia Senichenko Quintero, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by close family on January 21, 2021.
Lucia was born in Colombia, where she later met her husband George, and the two eventually settled in Vancouver in 1970.
Lucia is known for her compassion and endless love. It was especially shared through her joy of feeding all those around her. She loved her grandchildren dearly as well as all her family, many friends and neighbours and would speak to strangers with the same kindness. Like her heart, her home was always open as a place to gather community.
Lucia was the loving wife to George; caring mother to Diana and Geoff; and nurturing grandmother to Oliver, Kaya and Santiago; beloved sister to Gloria, Blanca and Nestor.
Due to COVID-19, a small private funeral mass took place on January 29, 2021 at St Augustine Catholic Church in Vancouver; please contact family to view the recorded video. A Celebration of Life will be planned when we are able to gather.
In lieu of flowers, we ask for donations to Lucia’s requested organizations: Greater Vancouver Food Bank and Operation Smile
