Lucy worked in the kitchen with us for months and taught us some of the best tricks when it came to making pasta or homemade rolls. She was always singing and dancing and making us laugh.
You will be missed "Lucy Lu" and you will never be forgotten.

I am extremely saddened at the news of Lucy's passing. Lucy worked with me occasionally at the Dewing School. I always looked forward to her arrival. At 80 years old she had more energy than most of us and the greatest sense of humor. As it was said Lucy did love her family as she always spoke of you with pride. I know she will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her.
