Lucille Budd Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 2, 2025.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Lucille Ada Budd November 1, 2025. Lucille was born on July 7, 1947, in Thomas, West Virginia, and brought so much love and light into the lives of those around her. Her love for crocheting, animals, and travel was only surpassed by her love for her family. She had a special fondness for anything that sparkled and shone, much like her own radiant personality. Lucille's laughter was infectious, and her sense of humor was truly wonderful, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Lucille is survived by her daughter, Brenda Burge (Robert), of Kitty Hawk; her granddaughter, Kylee Cobb (Chris), and her great-grandchildren, Raegan, Aubree, Beau, and Theodore, of Stumpy Point; her brother, John Kerns (Barb), of Ohio; as well as her nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Doreen Hovatter; her brother, Wayne Kerns; and her husband, Charles Budd.

In honor of Lucille's remarkable life, a celebration will be held at a later date, and further details will be shared in due course.

Expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services was entrusted with arrangements.
