Obituary for Lucie Eldracher
Lucie (Skrzypczynski) Eldracher, age 87, of Stratford, beloved wife of Konrad Eldracher, passed away Saturday, July 13, 2019 in Bridgeport Hospital. Mrs. Eldracher was born in Katowice, Poland, daughter of the late Emanuel and Mathilde (Bialon) Skrzypczynski and had been a long time Stratford resident.
Mrs. Eldracher had a passion for the theater arts. She loved to perform on stage in musical productions with the Gilbert and Sullivan Shows and the Lordship Fathers Club Variety Shows.

Lucie provided house cleaning services for many families over the years and was considered family to those she served.
She made it a point to be nice to everyone she met and provided help to those in need whenever she was available. She embraced the neighborhood “family”, enjoying their company and drop-ins were always warmly welcomed. Lucie always showed her support for her children and was a loving and caring grandmother to her grandchildren.
