We will certainly miss Miss Lucy and seeing her pretty smile when we go out to eat!! It’s very sad to know she’s not somewhere making someone’s day brighter!!!
Such a dear friend. Joey and I enjoyed going out to eat with her and George for many years until Joey’s health declined. Lucy was a sweet classy lady. She always had a beautiful smile on her face.
I know you are resting at the feet of Jesus and probably telling him a joke or two. Love ❤️ you my sweet friend.

Lucy was a fun person to be around. Always laughing and telling a story. She was one of my mother’s dearest friends. She certainly will be missed but left wonderful memories for her family and friends. Peace and comfort will come, bless all of you
Miss Lucy was one cool lady. She will be greatly missed. Keeping the entire family in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
I always thought the world of Lucy Nannie. I saw Lucy and George at Walmart about 4 to 6 weeks ago. Sorry to learn about her passing, but heaven is sweeter now.
