Sadly, said Bucci, her husband Agostino, who was helping her with her research, died last July.
Agostino, a third-generation Bucci in Lymansville, was the grandson of Arthur and Angelina Bucci, of King Street, who raised 11 children while they lived here. One of those children was Ruth Bucci’s father-in-law, also Agostino, and he and his wife, Anna, lived on Zambarano Avenue, where they raised three children, one of them her husband.
Bucci and her husband lived on Intervale Avenue, where they raised their daughter Laura, who attended Ricci Elementary School, and Bucci still lives in Lymansville.
Bucci said that now that the weather is starting to get better, she’s hoping residents will get out and take her self-guided Lymansville History Walk through the neighborhood, appreciating the history and beauty of this old village.

Bishop Feehan hockey player undergoes surgery after suffering spinal cord injury in Massachusetts game
NORTH PROVIDENCE - Support for North Providence native A.J. Quetta, the high school hockey player who suffered a serious spinal cord injury last Tuesday, Jan. 26, in a Massachusetts game between his Bishop Feehan High team and Pope Francis High, has continued to pour in, not only from his hometown and school community, but throughout southeastern New England.
Quetta, who was an honor roll student at Ricci Middle School and McGuire Elementary School before attending Feehan, crashed headfirst into the boards during last week’s Catholic Central League game at the Olympia Ice Center in West Springfield, Mass.
NORTH PROVIDENCE – Citing rising COVID-19 cases and growing absences among students and staff, Supt. Joseph Goho announced last Friday that North Providence schools would be moving back to distance learning.
Virtual learning for all students will begin next Monday and will extend through Jan. 8, impacting a total of eight school days. Goho said this was the most prudent decision for the district right now, when COVID-19 rates are at an all-time high in the state.
The announcement came the morning after Gov. Gina Raimondo told superintendents who have decided to go virtual “to look yourself in the mirror and try a little harder because I think the kids deserve better.”
