Interment will follow in Lamesa Memorial Park under the direction of Branon Funeral Home. Lucille passed away April 20, 2015 in Colorado City. She was born January 4, 1920 in Strawn, Texas to George Armour Booth and Lizzie Blanche (Laramore) Booth. She grew up around Coleman, Junction, Baird, Comanche, and Lamesa. Lucille married Prentis Driver March 22, 1939 in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The couple spent most of their married lives in Welch, Seminole, and Lake Colorado City. When one is blessed to be the child of the most remarkable woman it is hard to put in words the tremendous sadness and gratitude one feels upon having to say goodbye. Our mother, Vallie Lucille Driver is reunited with her true love, Prentis Driver, (even through her long journey of Alzheimer's she never stopped talking about our incredible dad). She was a true Christian lady and member of the Oak Street Baptist Church in Colorado City, Texas. Lucille quietly and comfortably left our physical presence. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, farmer, rancher, artist, and a very generous lady! She loved baking, sewing, making fudge, and crocheting. Her wit, strength, devotion, and loving compassion will live on in our hearts forever. Mom's adage for a great life was, Love and serve the Lord, love yourself, work hard, love what you do, and be kind to others. Simple plan Extraordinary lady! She was known by her nieces and nephews as Aunt Cille. Her whistling, Amazing Grace around the house will deeply be missed. Lucille will be laid to rest next to, The love of her life, Prentis Driver in Lamesa Memorial Park. Mother, grandmother, until we all meet again in heaven, we will hold your memory and your love in our hearts.
