Lucille “Lucy” P. Dodson of Pickens, SC went to be with her faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, October 14, 2019. Lucy passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter surrounded by family and friends.
Born on April 15, 1925, she was the daughter of the late Payton and Susie Mae Powell. She was predeceased by two sisters, Annie Lee Smith and Elewese Collins. She was the wife of the late Clyde F.
