What a precious lady...she was an important lady to me during my childhood while attending the Church of the Nazarene. Heaven has gained another angel. RIP Miss Lucy❣️
So very sorry to hear of Lucy ‘s passing. Such a sweet soul, she will be missed.
So sorry to hear of Lucy's passing. Such a nice lady!
Lucy was always so sweet. She had a strong faith for the Lord and was always so proud to talk about her church family. I will miss visiting with her weekly and seeing her sweet smile. She was so proud of all of all of her Birthday cards that she received this February. She proudly had them all displayed in her room on her wall. I would go and visit and she would have a couple more that came in the mail. I’d then ask Lucy if she would like me to hang them up for her. She would grin and say would you please. The wall was full of love proudly shown from all of her Birthday cards. There was barely any room left for another card to be placed upon it. Lucy you will be missed more than you know. Good job, you were a good faithful servant of God. Until we meet again. RIP my dear sweet friend.
Lucy was an inspiration, will miss her but she’s at peace now in her heavenly home.
Always enjoyed Lucy's Christmas letters. She was a sweet lady and former neighbor. Remember her Mom & Dad at McCabe Church.
Lucy was the sweetest, nicest lady ever. She loved the Lord with all her heart, mind, soul, & strength. A wonderful friend to all. She is with God now, safe & well & rejoicing with Him for eternity. Rest now, Lucy. You have earned it.
Sweet, sweet Lucy. She will be sorely missed.
Lucy was such a sweet lady. She always had a smile on her face. Mom enjoyed working with her and visiting. Sparton luncheons at Pizza Hut will not be the same.
Our dear precious Aunt Lucy! She held a special place in our hearts! So kind to everyone, and reflected God’s light and love. She served joyfully and loved well! So thankful for the many prayers she no doubt prayed for us and all her nieces and nephews. “What a Day of Rejoicing This Will Be ... As Jesus takes her by the hand and leads her to the Promised Land!” Your joy is now complete! We loved you dearly!
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Lucy was a wonder. And she was always glad to see you. I will miss her. And she. always knew your name. Even if she only saw you occasionally. At her age, that was amazing. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Our dear sweet Miss Lucy. Our Prayer Warrior. We will miss you so. Enjoy your rest in Heaven. We love you. Jeannine from your Friendship Class, Church of the Nazarene Church.
Lucy was a really nice lady. I knew her back when we worked at Spartan. We worked close together, and I thought she was a pleasure to work with her. I remember her mostly for her smile. Rest in peace, dear lady
Lucy was such a beautiful Godly woman. She always had a good word to say and never complained. She will be misses.
