Lucille Marie Kuehner

Lucille Marie Kuehner, 77, of Taylor, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at Forest City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was the beloved wife of Clemence Kuehner, Jr., with whom she shared more than 59 years of marriage.

Born in East Orange, New Jersey, Lucille was the daughter of the late Thomas J. and Olive (Stein) Dezenzo. She had an appreciation for the Catholic tradition and held a special fondness for St. Ann. Lucille took great pride in her Italian heritage, embodying the strength, warmth, and spirit of what she often described as a “tough Italian Jersey girl.”

She found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved smiley faces—a fitting symbol of the warmth and happiness she brought to those who knew her. She also enjoyed visiting the casino, and most of all, being surrounded by her family. Lucille was especially known for her generosity and thoughtfulness, taking great delight in spoiling her grandchildren and giving meaningful gifts, particularly during the Christmas season.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her loving children: Lori Kuehner, Scranton; Bill Kuehner and his wife, Kimberly, Olyphant; and Tina Falbo and her husband, David, Spring Brook Township. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Billy Jr., Nick, Mark, Jessica, Olivia, and Gianna, and a cherished great-grandmother to eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Susan Amato, of Union, New Jersey, along with several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her beloved grandson, Ryan Cafferty, twin sister, Nancy Blewitt, sister, Trish Girgenti, and brothers Thomas and Peter Dezenzo.

Family and friends are invited to attend Lucille’s viewing, which will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Hudak-O’Shea & Gabriel Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 115 N. Garfield Avenue, Olyphant. A Catholic Blessing Service will be held at 6:00 p.m., with cremation to follow.
