Obituary For Lucile Luckie Mushatt
In loving memory of Lucile Luckie Gatlin Mushatt departed this life on earth in the loving embrace of our Savior Jesus Christ on her birthday, May 10, 2024. She was the third born child of Alfred and Jessie Bell Provitt Luckie. She made her grand entrance into the life of her family on May 10,1938 in Crenshaw County, Alabama.
Lucile attended George Washington Carver High School and was a majorette in the marching Wolverines band. Out of high school she married Otha Gatlin, Sr. and enjoyed the traveling that his military service in the U.S. Air Force provided. When life presented the responsibility of raising 5 children as a single parent, she bettered their lives by achieving her own Associate degree in Early Childhood Education in 1985. Lucile had a passion for children and for 27 years, taught in the Community Action Head Start Program.
Once her children became adults, Lucile married Sandy Mushatt who served in the U.S. Army. This union was blessed with a daughter affectionately known as “Precious.” Lucile became a widow when her daughter was seven years old.
Lucile lived an active life and was blessed to travel around the world in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Germany, California, Aruba, Caribbean, and Hawaii. When asked how she would describe herself, Lucile was known to say: healthy, smart, and a caring person. Her life has been full; among her hobbies were sewing and crocheting. But if you asked anyone, they would immediately talk about her love and gift at gardening. Neighbors and family would often tell the time of day by finding her in her special spot: her garden! Lucille was an active member of the Social Garden Club and hosted several of their annual events at her home. In addition to gardening, retirement offered her time to expand her socializing with friends by joining the Senior Bowling Group, where she earned a 1st Place trophy!
At the early age of ten years old, Lucile gave her life to Jesus Christ at Mt Gilliard Baptist Church, under the pastorate of Reverend Phiefer. As a lifelong member of Revelation Missionary Baptist Church, she took great pride in whatever ministry she served whether the Nurse’s Guild, Co-Chair for Women’s Day events, and coordinator of the weekly Senior Bible Study Group. Lucille lived a fruitful life. She was known to say and believe, “The world don’t owe you nothing.” She put her trust in Jesus, faithfully singing from the depths of her heart: “The Lord Will Make A Way Somehow.” The Lord gave her the desire of her heart to live to her 86th birthdate on May 10th. One of her favorite scriptures: “The Lord is her light and salvation, whom shall I fear …” (Psalm 27)
Lucile Gatlin Mushatt was a devoted sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great grandmother who truly loved her family and her church. She is preceded in death by her mother Jessie Bell Luckie and father Alfred Luckie, and husband Sandy Mushatt, and siblings W.T. Luckie, Ann Luckie Scott, and Allen Luckie. Lucile leaves behind a legacy of love and unwavering faith survived by her sister Jessie Ruth Bell and brother Ernest “Sonny” Luckie (Eloise). Left to cherish her loving memories are also her four daughters: Sandra Whitley (Kenneth) of New Bedford, MA; Teresa Baker of Charlotte, NC; Michele Walker (Richard) of Montgomery, AL; Sancheleresa “Precious” Mushatt (Thomas) of Montgomery, AL; and two sons: Otha Gatlin, Jr. “Ojay” of Montgomery, Alabama and Kenneth Gatlin of Montgomery, AL. Lucile was a proud grandmother of ten: (Keisha, Trenton, Robert, Maya, Makayla, Jaylon, Kendra, Khalil, Harmony, DestinyLyric) and four great grandchildren (Jaiari M’Angel, Paris, Jaylon Jr. and Logan), and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. She will be loved and missed by all her family and friends.

Words cannot express the sincere prayers and condolences that are extended at this time to San, and the entire Mushatt Family. Mrs. Mushatt was a jewel to my son, and me. Whenever we had special programs at our church, she was invited. She would attend with love, open arms, full of the Lord's spirit and a classy doll from head to toe! You are with the Lord Mrs. Mushatt. We love you and will meet you again! With love, John Orlando Holt and Alicia Holt-Cannon

To the children of Mrs. Mushatt, her extended family and friends: Ben and I want to let you all know that words cannot express how saddened we are to learn of your loss. May your happy memories comfort you in the days ahead. We too, have shared some happy memories with your loved one Lucile, and we are here now to share the weight of your loss. Whatever you need, Ben and I are here for you. Lucile married a distant cousin on my dad's side and always felt welcomed by the family. However, over the past three years, Lucile became closely connected to Ben and me and became part of us. She never hesitated to stop by to ring the doorbell, say hello and share a joke when she was in the community. Cousin Lucile adored her grandchildren and shared funny stories about them. We laughed and chatted over a plate of oxtails and exchanged ideas about gardening and what plants should go where in the yard. Discovering that we shared a mutual friendship, further deepened our relationship. She and I loved fashions, selecting attire for the holidays and taking photos. Lucile loved helping others and cared deeply about those in the church who were sick and physically unable to attend. Lucile, we love and miss you already! Again, to the Mushatt family, Ben and I share your pain and are praying that God will grant you strength and comfort.
Mr.and Mrs.Ben Treadwell
