Clara Reta Lucano (née Dennie)

SEPTEMBER 9, 1924 OCTOBER 5, 2026

Portrait of Clara Reta Lucano (née Dennie)

It is with great sadness that the family of Clara Lucano announces her sudden passing peacefully at home.  She was in her 103rd year.  Clara was predeceased in 2020 by her husband of 66 years Frank.

Mom loved her beautiful gardens, sunny days on the patio and her wonderful neighborhood. Her independence was strongly supported by the loving care from amazing neighbors, Mark, Stephanie, Henry, Katherine, Alfie and Joanne.  The family will be forever grateful for everyone’s’ help these last few years and for making her street such a wonderful place for Mom to call home.

Visiting children, grandchildren and great grandchildren always made Mom’s days happier and brought joy to her heart.  She loved a full house and an opportunity to entertain family and friends.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.  She was a loving mother to John (Sharon), Paul, Lisa (Mark) and Mark (Chantal). Dear grandmother to Danielle (Kyle), Scott (Jillian), Lindsay, Hunter(Taissa), and Breanna.  Great grandmother to Ellanora, Griffin, Callum and William.

In her honour, a service will be held at Beechwood Cemetery on November 13th at 2:00 PM.  In lieu of flowers, donations to CHEO or The Ottawa Food Bank would be appreciated.

  1. Dear John, Paul, Lisa, Mark and family,

    Our hearts go out to all of you as you grieve your Mom’s passing.
    We too are sad to lose our dear sweet Aunt Clara.

    We will always treasure our telephone calls and special visits to your Mom and Dad’s beautiful home. What welcoming and gracious hosts they were.

    We enjoyed our chats so much. We discussed the current news of the day and shared family stories while sipping on a glass of excellent Chardonnay or a hot cup of tea. Of course, Aunt Clara always had some special treats for us as well.

    Aunt Clara and Uncle Sunny were supportive, encouraging and fun. We will miss them, always. May they rest in peace together now, after a life well lived.
    Love Judy and Don Stewart

  2. Our condolences to all the family what a lovely lady she was. Will miss seeing her at Mark and Lisa’s.

  3. I have very fond memories of Aunt Clara from when we visited Ottawa with my mom when Lockie and I were kids.
    She was always reminded me of the queen. Gracious, meticulously neat mixed with fun and sass.
    103 years of a life well lived. I’m sure she will be greatly missed.
    Love to all of the Lucanos.
    Marni
