I thank God for both Mr. & Mrs. Luckett. She did all she could with what she had known, and is in a much better place of "Shouting on the streets of gold"...no more suffering, just eternal peace. Until I see you again, know that angels have been dispatched to watch over Mr. Luckett & your daughter. From the entire staff at the Martin Army Community Hospital ADULT PRIMARY CARE CLINIC.

Mrs. Luckett had a great influence in my life. Our families have been neighbors for over 30 years. She was a very sweet and loving person. I enjoyed her stories about working at the USO and her travels around the world. She was a dedicated wife, mother and gardner. I have been blessed to have known her. Rest in peace.
