She will always have a special place in the hearts of her 21 Grandchildren, 53 great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren; as well as many loving nieces, nephews and cousins. Fred and Lucy were proprietors of “Nance’s Sportsmen Shop” on W. 5th Ave. and charter members of St. Christopher Church.

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved Aunt Lu. There is a poem by Linda Ellis called "The Dash" and Aunt Lu really lived her dash! When I (Paula) first met Aunt Lu, Richard had told me of this special Aunt for months, not knowing me, I said "Hi Aunt Lu, you know who I am" she said without missing a beat "Yes I do! You are my favorite!" Such a sweet woman is now a special Angel. May we all sleep with her watching over us. God Speed Aunt Lu you will be remembered and thought of for centuries to come!

I am so sorry for your loss. You have many wonderful memories of her. She was so cute and so full of life. My brother Jacque loved her so much. He loved to tease her and I believe she teased him back.

After work last night I tried to come to see her and everyone, but there was no parking for miles around. I do believe that the entire city of Grandview and Columbus combined were as touched (as I was) by her being in our lives. I will never forget the wonderful joy she gave me every time I saw her. She was beautiful inside and out and I feel blessed from knowing her.
