Lucia Ann Vest was born to Paul and Minta Vest on Nov 29, 1948 in Kentucky. The daughter of a military service member, Lucia lived in several states and in Panama. At age 15 she married Leroy D.

Lucia and Marvin owned and operated L&M Maintenance and spent years cleaning repossessed homes and managing the grounds of federally owned properties.

In 1999, Lucia retired and met Bill Woodall. Lucia and Bill spent two decades together before his passing in 2019. She was a kind woman who made friends easily. She was always the life of any party and could sit and talk to anyone for hours at a time. Lucia enjoyed volunteering at the local food bank and she served as the president of the family support group for the 353rd Engineering group. Lucia loved to travel and she was generous to a fault. She was happiest when she was surrounded by her family. She loved to spoil her grandchildren and great grandchildren and make their favorite dish, strawberry jello cake. She was a loving and caring mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She will be missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; a son Charles (Yogi) Murrah; husband Marvin Garrison; partner Bill Woodall; 3 brothers: Virgil, Paul, and Charles Vest; and a sister Gloria Freeman.
