She was a faithful member of St. Margaret’s Catholic Church for all of her life. Lucy took exceptional care of her family, a devoted wife and mother to her two children as well as to many children that she took into her home to raise. She adored cooking and baking for her family; her family will miss her fig cakes the most. Lucy was a talented seamstress that would sew clothes for her children, taking extra care to include two pockets for her son’s shirts. She would always look forward to spending a girl’s night with her friends and sharing her contagious laughter. Lucy taught her family to be loyal and devoted to their family and faith. She was a loyal, devoted, and adoring mother, wife, and friend to many that is already deeply missed.
Lucy leaves behind her daughter, Katina McCoy; son, Toby Manuel; grandchildren, Joshua McCoy and wife Michele, Jennifer Marshall and husband Cory, Jacob McCoy and wife Emma, and Toby James Manuel; great-grandchildren, Grace Marshall, Graham McCoy, Camden McCoy, and Layla Marshall; sister, Jeanette Manuel; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 44 loving years, Vernal Manuel; brother, Randyl Guillory; as well as her parents, Isom and Luther Guillory.
