Our parents loving relationship is the foundation for the warm family life that we enjoyed. Lucy was the best example of generous spirit and devout soul. She loved everyone and was loved by everyone because she never met a stranger. Her home was a favorite gathering place where she enjoyed cooking and everyone enjoyed her wonderful food prepared with love and spice. To quote our Daddy, When you give ALL that you have, God pays you seven fold.
Interment will be at South Park Cemetery immediately following the service.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory. An online registry can be accessed at www.ballardfuneralhome.com
