LUCY BERRIDGE Obituary
July 1, 1932 - November 14, 2025
It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Lucy Berridge, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend. She peacefully left this world on November 14, 2025, at the age of 93.
Born in Anthony, NM, to Maria Quiñones Provencio and Agapito Provencio on July 1, 1932, Lucy was full of warmth and kindness. After having three boys, her mother named her Luz because she said she had seen the "light," but everyone called her Lucy. Lucy was predeceased by her loving husband of 63 years, Chester Berridge, and her brothers Jake, Ben, and Augie Provencio, as well as her sister Tila Shaya.
Lucy's strength and zest for life were an inspiration to all who knew her. She often shared the wise advice, "Work hard and always try your best." A testament to her resilient spirit was the business she and Chester built together. Lucy spent almost 40 years managing the office, bookkeeping, loading trucks with fuel-whatever was needed. She also frequently brought homemade goodies to the office for everyone to enjoy.
A passion for Lucy was her love of cooking and all the gadgets and tools related to it. Her home always smelled of fresh-baked bread, meringue pie, cobbler, and, of course, dinner. Her joy in making and sharing Christmas cookies and all her baked goods will always be remembered fondly by those touched by her generosity. Her kitchen was truly the heart of her home, and everyone was welcome there.
Lucy's legacy lives on through her children, Debbie Urig (Ed) and Ted Berridge (Marcia). She was a wonderful grandmother to Travis Urig (Olivia) and Kelly Culler (Matt), and great-grandmother to Brooks, Samuel, and Wyatt Urig, and Paloma Culler.
Though we deeply mourn her passing, her memory and spirit will undeniably remain in our hearts. We will remember her as a symbol of strength, a beacon of love, and, above all, a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
A private service will be held for the family. If you wish to honor Lucy's legacy, invite some friends over and cook a great meal. She would love that.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Berridge. I had the pleasure of meeting you when I drove tankers for Berridge Distributing on the weekends. Such a great Santa Fe family, I am proud to have known and worked for many years ago. Sending my prayers and condolences.

Lucy was a beautiful woman and taught me so much working with her at Berridge Dist. Her and Chester were a godsend for 13 years! May she back in Chesters arms and at peace.
