Lucy S. Bragg

BRAGG, Lucy S. 58, of Tampa, passed away at a peaceful beach home on Aug. 4, 2008, under the loving care of her family after a brave 2 year battle with cancer. Lucy will be warmly remembered for her love and devotion to her family and friends.

A graduate of Endicott Junior College, she also lived for several years in both the Boston area, where she met her husband, as well as in the Washington, DC area, where her children were born. She is survived by Andrew A. Bragg, her husband of 32 years; her son, David D. Bragg, of New York; her daughter, Cara C. Bragg, of Tampa; her brothers, George G. Schwartz, of Hingham, MA and James J. Schwartz, of Ridgefield, CT; and her dog, Rumble, as well as mother-in-law Mary D. Bragg; sisters-in-law Martha Schwartz, Catherine Lanier and Ella Schwartz; brothers-in-law, Lawrence Bragg and Edward Bragg; cousin, Gabrielle Schang; aunt Paula Valentine; and 15 nieces and nephews.
