Lucinda was born in Arcata California to Ida and Roberto Giuntoli, she and her three siblings were orphaned in 1918 when their parents died during the flu epidemic. The children were then sent to various homes to be raised in Santa Rosa and Humboldt County California. Lucinda was raised by Primo and Mary Columbani in Santa Rosa California. She married Foster (Chuck) Sullivan in 1961. Lucinda started cooking for large family groups at the age of 12 and decided in her early years that she enjoyed serving the public. In her youth she was the hat check girl and waitress at the famous Lena’s in Santa Rosa California and at the young age of 86 she retired from Wendy’s in Santa Rosa California as a hostess.
