Lucy graduated from Sidney Lanier High School and Technical Business College.
She managed to balance her work, career and family, in order for her to complete a successful retirement from the Gill Companies/Bank Plus after 35 years. Lucy was loved by many who have been fortunate enough to have known her. Her interest were varied and in addition to her love of the outdoors. She had an amazing artistic flair which she enjoyed using for gardening and an array of crafts which many received as gifts on special dates. Never forgetting to send a card on birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy or get well cards. Mom's meals for holidays and just everyday meals were never to be forgotten, just simply great. Mom was always known for her wonderful cookies, cakes and fruit cakes at Christmas.
Her main interest was always her family, engraving a legacy in our heart.
