Lucy, as many people knew her was a dedicated mother and wife first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She had a vivacious personality and always made people around her laugh. She made friends everywhere she went.
Up until recently she enjoyed pilates and yoga. She loved to cook and bake, and still made her own tortillas, and was often referred to as the World’s Greatest Tortilla Maker!
