I am so sad to lose my wonderful neighbor Lucille. She would come over to me while I was sitting on my front porch and say, “I thought I’d come over and visit you. I don’t want you to be lonely.” We had some wonderful visits and memories of how Asheville used to be back in the day. Lucille is Heaven-bound, and is so missed!
I have such fond memories of Lucille from our time together at The Cloisters condos. I loved her sense of humor as well as her ability to assist others invoke images of Asheville as she knew it over the years. She dearly loved the Basilica and the many hours she spent there as a volunteer. You deserve your place in Heaven.
So glad that Lucille was blessed with two wonderful children, Carol and Joe and their families. She lived a long life dedicated to her church and loved ones and is now one of God”s angels.
I knew Mrs. Lamy as a child. I went to school for a time with Carol. and later in life knew her from the Asheville Stamp Club. She and her husband where always helping out at the school and on field days ran the concession stand, they had the best hot dogs. she was considerate of everyone, and took care of several people. The world is a better place for her having been in it . Carol I am sorry for your loss
She will be missed by many at the Basilica. I had the pleasure of working along side of her through some of my years on the Altar guild.
May she be greeted by the Angels.
May those left behind remember her humor and kindness.
