We will all miss Aunt Lucy. She touched our lives in so many ways and we are thankful we were able to visit in person and speak on the phone over the years. She was always welcoming and had plenty of stories to tell about her clock searching travels, local news, world news, and just about anything else. She also knew the best time of day and route to drive to and from Shreveport! Having a connection to Louisiana, she made sure we knew about the crawfish boils at Inverness. Her kindness shined in the way she lovingly talked about her home state of Oklahoma and her family, especially all the nieces. She loved everyone unconditionally and was a joy to know. May she and all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace!

When I was around 8, Aunt Lucy taught me how to wear a wrist watch. She explained that women wear their watches on the left arm with the clock on the inside wrist. Her logic was "when you're at a party and someone asks what time it is, you'll spill your drink on them but men will spill their drink on themselves." She recently had to move her watch to her right arm and it bugged me every time I saw it.
