Mrs. Lucarelli was an icon of Derby having served generations and thousands of hungry customers at the venerable Hawthorne Avenue restaurant. Her impact on the community will long be remembered by the high quality of pizza and dinners served, and the tradition of excellence for which Roseland is known.
Please join Mayor Anita Dugatto and the entire City of Derby in expressing our deepest sympathy to the Lucarelli and Scatolini family on the loss of their matriarch.
May she rest in peace in Pizza Heaven!
Mayor Dugatto commented that “Everyone knows that the best pizza in the world is made right here in Derby at Roseland. Lina’s leadership as owner, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend made her one of the respected role models for women throughout the State. She will be missed by all who knew her.”
