Lucy was born on May 18, 1953, in Russellville, Alabama, in Franklin County, proudly continuing her family’s legacy as the fourth generation in that beautiful town. After marriage, she embraced a new chapter in Athens, where her twin boys were born and later thrived at Auburn University. As a grandmother to five wonderful grandchildren—three boys and two girls—Lucy treasures her family.

With a degree in Foods and Nutrition and Institutional Management from the University of Alabama, Lucy dedicated herself to serving others, working at Athens Medical Center and the Lurleen Wallace Center. Balancing motherhood and work after her twins’ arrival, she briefly worked at a senior living home while nurturing her boys. Later, she took on the role of a city carrier in Athens, showcasing her commitment and resilience.

Driven by a passion for knowledge, Lucy returned to school to earn a degree in Biology and Education. She joyfully retired from the post office in 2013, cherishing the freedom to enjoy life. Now living at Monark, she relishes being close to her son while embracing a carefree lifestyle free from cooking and cleaning, a testament to the fulfilling life she has crafted.
