I met Lucy through St Mark’s Seniors group. She was always so kind to me and my husband. Whenever she saw us we were greeted with a big hug and kiss. Lucy would always ask how our son, Jason was, he was deployed many times in the Middle East. Lucy was a genuine, loving lady who will be greatly missed.
Amazing coincidence, Kristen,her granddaughter, was one of my very favorite students at Odyssey.
We share you sorrow. She was an inspiration to to all. Love Joyce & Bill Crandall
Grandma Lucy, as we were all introduced to Her, became all our beloved grandma. Thanksgiving in Vegas or playing LCR will never be the same. She is one of a kind with such a special sole that touched me deeply. RIP grandma Lucy. We will miss you. Love Debbie and Peter
Lucy lit up the lives of children and teachers at Twelve Corners Middle School in Brighton. We are lucky to have known her. Mary Brown
Lucy was the kindest and most young-at-heart person that one can imagine. I first met Lucy through the Woman’s Club of Rochester and for many years we volunteered together with the teen-age residents at the Rochester Psychiatric Center. She related with the patients so perfectly and it was always a joy to be with her. She made that program the success that it was.
I know how much Lucy loved her family and how she enjoyed going to the kids’ games, practices, shows and all family events. She was such a special person and we were all lucky to know her.
Love, Shirley Humphrey
