“It’s hard to forget someone who gave so much to remember.”
Mary “Frances” Lucas, 81, peacefully passed away in her home surrounded by family on January 23, 2022.
She was born September 15, 1940, in Tazewell, VA to the late Mose and Mary Hankins.
Frances was a strong hard-working woman her entire life.
Frances and her husband Lee had created a large loving family whom she loved being with, especially cooking large meals for everyone to enjoy, but mostly she enjoyed the laughter that filled the house.
She was a good Mom, Maw-Maw, wife, sister, aunt, and friend. A good woman all around.
Frances was preceded in death by her husband Lee Lucas; daughter Rita Livermoore, and son Jimmy Lucas.
Those left to cherish her memories are her children Reba Williams, Sherrie Sears, Kathy Wilson, Renee Carlton, Mary Lambert, Jerry Jr. Ace, and Robert Lucas; sister Shirley Hutchinson; 17 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews and a host of friends.
