(Lucia)
Carol E. McCoy, 79 of Manchester and formerly of Wayne, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 18, 2022 at Jersey Shore Medical Center, Neptune with her devoted family at her side.
Carol was born in Passaic to the late Rudolph and Grace (nee Maggaro) Lucia and had resided in Wayne for many years before moving to Leisure Village West, Manchester in 2015.
Carol grew up in Elmwood Park, where she participated in dance class from the age of five years old. By the time she turned 18, her hard work and natural talent were rewarded as she earned a spot as a New York City Rockette. She remained a lifelong fan of the dance world.
Carol worked for Lorch Electronics from 1991-1999, first as a Contracts Manager and then as a Business Manager. Following this, she developed a successful interest in real estate.
All who knew Carol say she was an outgoing, caring and fun-loving person. She loved to laugh. She was an excellent cook and loved gardening in her spare time.
Carol is survived by her three devoted daughters and sons-in-law, Kelly and Guy Tietz of Manchester, Karen and Terry Dunmire of Scottsdale, AZ, and Kathleen McCoy Sakosits of Wall Twp., her three beloved grandchildren Ryan, Shannon, Michael, and their father Brian Sakosits; her two brothers and sister-in-law John and Virgy Lucia of Galloway Twp., and Ronald Lucia of Prompton, PA.
