Lucia “Lucy” G. Jimenez, 92, went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 2, 2019. Lucy was born January 25, 1926 in Goliad to the late Primitivo and Apolonia “Paula” Guzman DeLaGarza. Lucy was a dedicated worker who worked all her life. She believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and was a faithful servant.
