From an early age Lucy professed her faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized at First Baptist Church in Hermitage, MO. She was a dedicated and active member of this church until she moved to Tahlequah in 2017. She then transferred her membership to First Baptist Church in Tahlequah where she attended services and was a devoted member to the Dorcas Sunday School class where she had many friends.
Lucy was fond of talking about all the jobs she had in her life. She worked in a shoe factory, she picked cotton and worked in the fields, but she began working at Westinghouse (later Philips) in 1966 and retired from there in 1998. After retirement Lucy spent time doing volunteer work, visiting with those in Nursing Homes, and was active in her community. She enjoyed spending time at the Senior Center. She loved dancing, bowling, crocheting, and reading. She loved playing games and watching game shows.
Her beautiful life will forever be cherished by her family and friends. After living a full and blessed life on earth she departed this world on Saturday, November 9, 2019 in the early morning hours in Tahlequah, OK, her daughter Evelyn and grandson Jason by her side.
