My sister use to take me and her 2 daughters with her to visit Mrs.Lucy in the country when I was a young girl and Mrs Lucy was always happy to see us, she would give us snacks and we'd play outside in her very large yard with lots of shade trees. I saw her last year and she still remembered me with a smile. Janette Hedgepeth Walston

Our family set our love and sympathy upon you today! We have been neighbors and family for a very longtime. We know the love, warmth, and selflessness of Momma Lucy. We trace this love back to our dirt road days. Throughout all these years she never faded in her loving, kind and gentleness of heart. We know her as one who was always giving. To this end we say.............Job 1:21 KJV Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Truly THE LORD gave us a jewel and hath taken away A Diamond.

Our condolences to the Ricks family.

Lucy was my mother 1st cousin Hattie Jones Allen. I remember the summers I would spend at her home. Always sweet and kind. Always felt at home. When Lucy and my mother got together they always had the best stories of their childhood. They would laugh and talk for hours. Now they are together in heaven talking. Rest in peace.
My condolences to the Rick's family, may God rest her beautiful soul and Lucy will forever be missed

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Ricks Family. We will always remember her beautiful smile. Calvin & Lois Moore
Ms. Lucy was such a sweetheart. She was always kind whenever we were in each other's presence. There were times Ms. Lucy would sweetly referenced my mother who passed years ago. Her doing so always made me smile. But that was type of woman she was. She had a beautiful kind heart. I know she will be missed because she was and is so loved. There will be an evident void now when I visit Keith and Fannie for family gatherings and she is not there smiling and talking to everyone. Ms. Lucy rest from the toils of this world. You have finished your race. You are so loved by all that were blessed to know and love. God bless you. Ray and Natalie Brooks
