Main

BiographyJacqueline Lucas first met her future husband Sam Babicci at a dance at Bronte SLSC after he returned from war service in Borneo. They married in 1948 and lived with her mother for three years in her flat in Waverley. Sam and Jacqueline bought a 'spec' built house in Karoola Crescent, Caringbah and moved in on Boxing Day 1950. Jacqueline is still there 63 years later.SynopsisJacqueline recalls what it was like as 'pioneers' of Caringbah, living in a friendly suburb where the kids played in the street and the neighbours all knew each other. She also remembers how lively Caringbah shopping centre was prior to the construction of Miranda Fair. Over the years St Philip's Anglican Church at Caringbah has played an important part in Jacqueline's life and through it she worked as a volunteer for Caringbah Neighbourhood Aid for some time. Sam was the member of a Masonic lodge and the couple enjoyed numerous social functions through this involvement.
