While at the Manor at Steeplechase Lucy was a tutor in reading to school children. She loved knitting and playing cards and was a formidable Scrabble player. We will remember her as a devoted mother and wife, who took care of her husband during his final illness. We will also remember her patience, her strength, her wisdom and her smile and most of all her love of family. While we mourn her loss, we feel fortunate that she was in our lives.
