Granny Lucy was a very kind, loving, caring woman. The only time Granny Lucy argued with someone, it was to help them, and when she got into her old age, it bothered her that she couldn't help anyone. Granny Lucy made it through her parents's and her older brother passing away when she was 13. She then had to raise her younger brothers and sisters. Then when she had her own kids, her oldest son passed away in a car reck. She brought 4 very kind children into the world, and 3 still live. She had gone through several surgery's, in old age, and living through every last one. She said a month before she died, "Im not going to be bed ridden untill I die." She got into her wheel chair every other night and ate with the faimly up untill 2 days before she died. This was a very strong women, losing her mother and father and older brother at the age of 13, raising 4 children then one dieing at the age of 18, and then being one of the last 2 of her brothers and sisters still living. Rest in peace, Granny Lucy.
Someone to look up to for sure. When things get really tough, it's easy to complain but if anything, looking at her life makes it where I don't have much excuse for whining about things being too hard. Truly a remarkable woman who inspired everyone she connected with. She made me a better person and helped me and mom when no one else could. We owe her a lot. I've missed her since we move and it's hard to think of her not being around. I'm glad she was as healthy for as long as she was so that you guys could really get to know her and have her as an example of perseverance and kindness.
