After being separated from each other for a year made for a special reunion between the mother and daughter. Lucci penned a sweet caption next to the photo saying:
"So very happy to see my mother for the first time in a year—in person!!! ?? #gratitude"
GERIATRIC JOURNEY
Lucci's mother has always been known for her independence, having lived on her own until she was 98. Lucci eventually hired nurses who could be with Jeanette full time but finding the right person for the job was challenging.
Lucci also recently celebrated her 50th anniversary with her Austrian husband, Helmut Huber.
A family friend's daughter, who is also a geriatric nurse, was the one who managed to win over Lucci's mom and became her full-time carer. After breaking her hip twice, Lucci placed her mom in an assisted living program in Florida.
LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER

"Susan, God Bless your Mother. She looks fabulous! You inherited those great genes ? from her I see. "
Lucci has emphasized the importance of taking care of your skin in order to age well, saying that a regular quality skincare routine will result in long-lasting beauty.
