Lucy was a person who worked very hard for everything she had, and was a generous spirit, giving as much as she could to family and friends. She was the matriarch of her family, hosting holidays, family dinners and making sure to keep her family together. When she was no longer able to host due to her health issues, she passed down the family recipes to her granddaughter, Alicia making sure the family traditions she worked so hard to make would still continue. She also had a great love for the Dallas Cowboys, Owls, Elvis Presley, and Conway Twitty. She enjoyed fishing, crafting, dancing and playing games on her computer. She was also a great euchre player.
