Cody Augustino Lucia, the dear husband and best friend of Cheryl Poche Lucia, 
died at the age of 77 in his garden in Covington, Louisiana. 

In addition to being survived by his wife, he leaves behind his children 
Stephen (April) Lucia, Christine (Rodney) Bell, Theresa (John) Mondello, and 
Paul Lucia; his grandchildren Laura, Tyler, Andrew, Chelsea, Maria, Sarah, 
Luke, Ashlyn, Grace, and Rebecca; his sisters Rosalie (Gerald) Sander, and Mary 
(John) Snyder; and many nieces and nephews.

Cody was preceded in death by his parents, Angelina Barreca Lucia and Vincenzo 
Lucia, Sr., and also his brothers Anthony, Joe, and Charles.

Cody attended elementary school at St. Mary of the Angels and St. Rita in New 
Orleans, and St. Charles Borromeo in Destrehan. He graduated from Cor Jesu High 
School, now Brother Martin, in New Orleans. He received his BS, MEd, and 30+

mailman. He qualified marksman on the M-1 and expert on the M-14. 
Later in life, he also served three years in the U.S. Naval Reserves.

Cody will be missed not only by his wife and family, but also by his many 
friends with whom he shared his flowers and organic produce that he cultivated 
in his back yards.
