ROLLOLUCIA P. "Lucy" (nee Clementone), 88, on October 20, 2015, of the Residence 
at Glenn Riddle in Media, and formerly of Drexel Hill and Yeadon. Beloved wife of the 
late Anthony (Tony) J. Rollo, Sr. Loving mother of Marian M. (David) DiGirolamo of 
Newtown Square, Anthony J. (Julie) Rollo, Jr of Baton Rouge, LA and Peter R. (Linda) 
Rollo of Media. Doting grandmother of David, Dennis and Lauren DiGirolamo, and 
Emmanuelle and Isabella Rollo. Lucy was born in Philadelphia on December 13, 1926 
to recent Italian immigrants of limited means, Gabriel and Petronilla Clementone. An 
only child who had no economic prospect for attending college, by devoting herself to 
her studies, Lucy graduated from John Bartram High School in 1943 as the top-ranked 
student in her class. As a result she won a full scholarship to the University of 
Pennsylvania, graduating four years later with a degree in Chemistry. After working as 
a chemist for the Navy, Lucy married the love of her life, Tony, after he returned from 
his service with the Air Force in World War II. Lucy and Tony celebrated more than 50 
years of marriage until Tony's passing in 2001 at age 78. Throughout her life, Lucy 
devoted herself to Tony and their family, and helped raise their three children and five 
grandchildren. In addition to regularly participating as a volunteer in her children's and 
grandchildren's school and their activities, Lucy worked for many years with the 
Delaware County Intermediate Unit teaching children with learning disabilities, and 
giving her time to helping others in need through Meals on Wheels and similar groups. 
For Lucy, life was all about assisting others, especially children and senior citizens 
who had the most urgent need for extra care and love. All who met Lucy enjoyed and 
were inspired by Lucy's work ethic, intelligence, sense of humor, humility, and 
beautiful giving soul. She was truly a great and remarkable Lady in every respect. 
Lucy led her entire life along God's path, and today is at peace in the warm embrace 
of the Lord, and her husband Tony. Relatives and friends are invited to Lucy's Life 
Celebration Saturday, October 24, 2015, 9-11 A.M. at SPENCER T. VIDEON OF
