Lucy was a wonderful woman and the only person I've ever known who kept even the crawlspace under her house spotless. I remember her telling me she didn't like cobwebs down there. And what a smile she had! An Index era is ending.

Lucy Spada was one of the most loved and respected individuals in the Town of Index where she spent most of her long life. As postmaster for thirty-five years she was trusted with intimate knowledge of every ones' lives yet never said a word detrimental to anyone's reputation. As an historian of the town she was invaluable in service to the museum which she helped establish. The community lost a good friend and neighbor when she left in 1994 to be nearer to her mother. We understood, but grieved. Long live her memory!
