Mary Lucas Obituary
Mary was an avid gardener who enjoyed watching Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Even though she did not comment much, keeping up with her family on Facebook was more than a pastime. The holidays were a particularly special time for Mary. She reveled in the shared meals and the laughter that filled the air when her family gathered.
She was preceded in death by her father, Frank Biddle; her mother, Laura Mae Gaddie (Gene); and a brother-in-law, William Sinnett.
Survivors include her husband, Tom Shunk; four sons, David Lee Lucas (Lisa), Dale Lucas (Christal), Willy Lucas (Miae) and T.J. Shunk (Lindsey); eight grandchildren, Elena, Danny, Matt, Ryan, Joshua, Sarah, Marissa and Tommy; four great-grandchildren, with two on the way, Miya, Eume, Karter and Caleigh; two sisters, Vivian Sinnett and Sharon Smith; and a host of extended family and friends.
The funeral for Mrs. Lucas is at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, in the chapel of Chism Family Funeral Home in Vine Grove.
Visitation is from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.
