Lucy L. Latchum

Lucy Lee was always fun to be around and always was smiling and laughing and her curls use to bounce around as she did so. She will be greatly missed I'm sure but Heaven will be laughing when she arrives.

Lucy was a delightful person who lit up the room wherever she was.

Her love for her work and her colleagues at CNU
was immeasurable.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a loving life.

Lucy was the nicest person and always helpful to me. You never saw her without a smile and those pretty fluffy curls dangling in her eyes! A sad loss for her family and friends on Earth but surely a blessing for her new family in Heaven. I extend my heartfelt condolences to her family. May you find comfort and peace in prayer. Peace.

I am saddened to hear of Lucy's passing. I worked with Lucy for several years at CNU. She was always a delight to work with. Her gentle demeanor and kindness was evident to all. She will be dearly missed.

We were so sorry to learn about Lucy's passing. Lucy and I worked together many years ago. She was always so upbeat, cheerful and positive. Lucy often times shared what was going on in her sons lives and was always so proud of them. Cherish your many happy memories. All of you will remain in our thoughts and prayers during this time.

She was truly a nice person and spoke to everyone on campus. She had such a bright smile that truly can make your day.

She had a unique ability to find solutions to any problem that would leave all parties happy with the result. Lucy was very dedicated to CNU and the students whom she served. To quote other others who have written before me, she was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I shall truly miss her.

Over several decades, as my student, my colleague, my friend, whenever I saw and talked to Lucy, I felt bathed in her kindness and generosity, her apparently limitless energy for goodness to others.

Here are few lines of poetry for you Lucy, from May Oliver's "When Death Comes." Oh, how much light you brought to so many who shall dearly miss you and cherish your memory.

I was a bride married to amazement
I was the bridegroom,...
