She also volunteered at Time Out Thrift Shop which supported a shelter for battered women. She had many friends and was always “game” to join in all the various activities in her social groups. While not having children of her own, she was always involved in her nieces and nephews’ lives. She provided housing and guidance as several started new jobs in the area. Lucy always remembered birthdays and was a genuine, kind and caring soul. In 2008, as her health began to decline, she moved to Culpeper, Virginia to be near family.
