Lynne DeLuca, age 66, a resident of Swannanoa, North Carolina, went to be with her heavenly family on February 1, 2017.
Lynne was born in New York City May 4, 1950 to Anthony DeLuca and Fay Kalina DeLuca. After graduating from Brentwood High School in New York in 1968 Lynne came South to attend Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education she spent most of her remaining years in the South. She spent three years in Boston, Massachusetts where she earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology degree from Lesley University. She used what she learned at Lesley to help people handle their lives--both personally and professionally-- for the remainder of her life. Her thoughtful, contemplative words will be sorely missed by those of us she helped.
Lynne is survived by her family, Terrance Lonergan, Jeanne Wright and Johanne and Bill Pesce. She is also survived by her nieces Theresa Happe and Elizabeth Pesce and her nephews Fred and Anthony Pesce.
Lynne was a Baha’i for over 40 years and will have a Baha’i burial. She will be buried in a simple pine box in the green section at Green Hills Cemetery among the trees with the sound of sweet birds chirping all around her. That was as close to the heavenly world we could put her on this earth. A simple service will be held at the graveside at Green Hills Cemetery at 25 New Leicester Hwy in Asheville, North Carolina on Thursday, February 2, 2017 at 3:00 pm. A Memorial Service will be held at Harwood Home for Funerals at 208 W. State St. Black Mountain, North Carolina on Friday, February 3, 2017 at 6:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to: Worldwide Orphans Foundation, 515 Valley Street, Suite 201, Maplewood, NJ 07040-1389; and The Center for Family Justice, 753 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut 06604. And for Baha’is donations may be made to the International Baha’i Fund.
