Lucy was a loving mother and grandmother who epitomized self-sacrifice, working multiple jobs her entire life and devoting nearly all of her free time to her loved ones, or the strengthening of her faith through service to the Lord.

She set an example for all those who knew and respected her to model their lives after. She was a dedicated woman with a beautiful soul and a gentle heart, who cherished her family and faith above all else in this world. She had a wonderful sense of humor known better to none other than her own grandchildren with whom she joked and laughed a lot.

Lucy was a living inspiration and a model of perseverance and wisdom. Always there for those close to her, she was never too busy to lend an ear or offer advice during troubled times. An honest woman who stuck to her convictions, she didn’t always say what people wanted to hear, but said what they needed to hear.

She was a Christian woman with a wondrous capacity to love and always put the well being of others above her own. She will be greatly missed.

Written with love by her grandson, Max Dible.
