Lucille confessed a hope in Christ at an early age, was baptized and joined Zion Hill Church of God in Christ under the leadership of Elder C.D. Norris. Lucille was united in holy matrimony to Ozell Harvey (San Antonio, TX) in 1942.  To this union one child was born, Earnie Mae Harvey. She had many hobbies, but caring for her flowers and watching her favorite baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, were her favorite pastimes.  During her younger days, she enjoyed hunting and fishing on the outskirts of DeRidder.

Lucille was a cosmetologist by profession but also worked in other capacities.  She retired as a medical assistant from a local nursing home in DeRidder at the age of 62. Lucille touched many lives during her lifetime and her legacy will continue to live through her family and friends.  She loved her family and tried to be available to each on a personal level.
