“Sue” Lucy R. (Lewis) Pirro, 85, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2021 surrounded by her family. She was a lifelong resident of Onondaga County and a graduate of Lafayette High School.

Sue was a tireless community volunteer for St. Cecilia’s Church, School and Food Pantry, the Food Bank of CNY, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and a costume seamstress for many of her children’s dance and theater productions.

Sue’s family sincerely thanks everyone on Loretto 13 for the exceptional care they provided to her.
