Georgene Lucy Lane Obituary (1950 - 2019)

Ms. Georgene Lucy Lane, 68, passed on February 21, 2019 in West Orange, NJ. A Celebration of Life Birthday Party will take place on Saturday, April 13, 2019 as an open house from 6 to 10 pm at the Buena Vista Cafe, 1305 Buena Vista Ave., Warren, OH. Guests are encouraged to wear the color red as a symbol of energy, vitality and love in the celebration of Georgene's life and what would have been her 69th birthday. Born and raised in Warren, OH, she graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Economics and obtained her Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. After her studies, she moved to New York City before making her home in Montclair, New Jersey for nearly 30 years. Georgene made many life-long friends wherever she lived. She had a unique ability to make people feel heard and appreciated; she was affectionately known as a "second mother" or "second sister" to so many. Georgene was known to say, "don't talk to me unless you want a friend for life" - a sentiment that remained true until the very end. She worked for Sanofi (formerly, in part, Genzyme) in Accounts Payable and Materials Management. Georgene was predeceased by her mother, Shirley Ann (nee Whitlock) Lucy. She is survived by her loving father, Charles "Chuck" Richard Lucy (partner, Dorothy Lazar), cherished daughter, Kaylin and her son-in-law, Adam Tomlin.
