RACINE – Lucy Irene Greene, 85, passed away Monday, Oct. 4, after a courageous four-year struggle with lung cancer. Lucy was born on June 15, 1936, to Jack and Ida (nee: Cicero) Daceno in Racine. Lucy had seven siblings and the family was very proud of their Italian heritage.

Lucy attended Park High School where she met the love of her life, Howard “Howie” Greene. They were married on Sept. 7, 1957, at St. Edward Catholic Church. Lucy and Howie were known for their dancing skills and even won contests. They also loved motorcycle riding and traveling with their relatives to Las Vegas. Lucy and Howie celebrated 30 years of marriage before he passed away on Oct. 22, 1987. It was a very unexpected and sudden loss. Lucy was employed as a telephone operator, at Johnson Wax and later at Chrysler Motors.

Lucy will be remembered for the love she had for her family and her generous heart. She was a sweet but sassy lady and told you exactly what was on her mind. Lucy was very excited when she got to meet her new great-granddaughter, Luella Loreen, born on Aug. 16.

Lucy always made Christmas very special for her siblings growing up and then her children. The family has many fond memories spending Christmas Eve together and at family weddings. In 1997, Lucy met Tony Salituro of Kenosha and they spent 24 years of companionship together. Tony was known for his kind heart and humorous personality. They thoroughly enjoyed the companionship of their black cat, Babaluke. Tony preceded Lucy in death recently on July 20, 2021, at age 98.

Lucy will be deeply missed by her three children, Theresa Greene Dennison (Jason Hoecherl), Howard Greene Jr. and Loreen Mohr (Patrick Becker); grandchildren Brett Greene, Erica Amaya, Alexander Mohr (fiancé Taylor Wendt); Sophie (Andy) Truax, Gary Mohr (Melanie Cruz), Howard Greene III and Hannah Hoecherl (Branden Kovara); great-grandchildren Jovani, Felix, Gisella and Luella; sister Jackie Skaggs (Richard Roadwald); brother Phillip (Carol) Daceno; brother-in-law Bill Olive; sister-in-law Alice Daceno; and many other relatives and friends. Lucy was preceded in death by her parents and husband; mother- and father-in-law, David and Mabel Greene; brother Charles (Edith) Daceno Sr.; sisters Sarah (Joe) Rallo, Rosemary (Henry) Bouwma, Margaret (Ezra) Reed and Genevieve Olive; and nephews Ron Skaggs, David Reed and Robert Hering.

Lucy’s life will be celebrated during a funeral service on Sunday, Oct. 10, at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home, 4600 County Line Road, Mount Pleasant. Visitation will be from 1:30 to 3:45 p.m. A service will begin at 4 p.m. Lucy will be laid to rest at noon Monday, Oct. 11, at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery, 5600 Holy Cross Road, Caledonia.

Testimonials

Thank you for an exceptional service for our mother – Juan Munoz

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable.

From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable.

One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort.

What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control.

Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience.

In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process.

Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark and broader Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout the entire process.

– Epifanio and The Munoz Family
