Obituary For Lucy Mae Fryson

Daytona FL- Lucy Mae Fryson, daughter of the late G. Louise Crews Coleman and Booker Coleman, was born on September 26, 1937, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She obtained her ultimate heling, surrounded by her family on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in Daytona FL.

Lucy graduated from Westinghouse High School in 1955 and married Richard Lee Fryson on April 4, 1959, in Pittsburgh. After starting their family, they later moved to Youngstown, Ohio. Lucy took great pride in being a loving wife, mother, and homemaker to her husband and three children. Throughout her life, she maintained a strong bond with God and was a longtime member of New Bethel Baptist Church in Youngstown.

After her children entered junior high, Lucy began her career at Northside Hospital, where she worked as a Ward Clerk for more than 35 years before retiring. In 2021, she and her husband relocated to South Daytona, Florida, where they enjoyed their retirement and the sunshine. Lucy loved fashion, shopping, and good food. She was an avid bowler who won numerous competitions and awards throughout the years.

A generous philanthropist, she regularly donated to charitable causes and was always willing to help those in need. Lucy had a beautiful smile and a laugh that could warm your heart and lift your spirit. She was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan, enjoyed watching westerns, loved traveling, and cherished spending time with her family.

Lucy's love, kindness, faith, and unwavering devotion to her family will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Lucy will be forever missed by her children: son Richard Michael Fryson of Youngstown, OH; daughters Carla (Eddie) Sol of Daytona Beach, FL, and Candace Fryson of Youngstown, OH.

Lucy’s legacy will be preserved by her cherished grandchildren, Kellee (Kenton) Rickerson, Christopher Williams, and Alazia Hobard; great-grandchildren Daz'ia (Cornell) Johnson, Kenton (Genesis) Rickerson, Jr., and Kayden Rickerson; great-great-grandson Jayce Rickerson; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Lucy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard Lee Fryson; sisters, Elinor Montgomery and Patricia Coleman; brother, James Coleman; and grandson, Henry P. Williams II.

As we gather to celebrate her remarkable life, let us remember Lucy for her warmth, her laughter, and the profound impact she had on all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed, but her memory will forever reside in our hearts.
