A bright smile and an adventuresome spirit, Lucille was always the life of the party. When the cousins got together, we learned a great deal about the Walker family. REST IN PEACE dear one. The battle is over!
I loved her as my cousin and friend. She was beautiful inside and out. Such a beautiful smile.
What a loss. David, your mom will be greatly missed. She was such a bright and inspirational person in my life. My dad passed just two months ago and now I know he has a dance partner. Love and comfort to you and your family.
My adorable cousin Lucille. She had the most beautiful smile that I ever saw. She loved to dance and sing. Her laughter was so contagious.
My heart goes out to David and his family. I will miss her so.
Lucy had the biggest smile! She was always so upbeat and loved life to the fullest. I will never forget how she walked around barefoot. She went to a gas station one day with no shoes. We had some good times together. I will miss her dearly. She is dancing in Heaven now.
I’ve known Lucille since I was very young. She grew up with my cousins. She was always so sweet to me. I remember her playing the flute in the band. Loved her smile.
Rest in peace.
We miss you Lulu. Lucy was the sweetest and kindest person that I have ever met. She always had a big smile on her face when I saw her and always found the humor in things. We considered her part of our family for sure! I miss her laughs and smile. Everytime I would see her she would repeatedly say “I just love ya’ll”. She was always say how much she loved David and Savanna. I’m so sorry she had to go too soon. But one thing is for sure, she definitely is in heaven smiling big and laughing hard and of course dancing. This is not goodbye but see you again later. ❤
Lucy was a wonderful friend. We had such good times together. I’ll never forget our trip to Branson.
I know she will be truly missed but will always be in our hearts!
Lucille was a lifelong best friend. Know each other since 3rd grade! She was a wonderful gal with a bright personality! She will be missed. Love you, Lucille.
Lucy was the kind of person that when you meet them you feel as though you’ve known them all your life! Always smiling and laughing! So sweet! She will be missed by all that knew her!
David, my prayers are with you and your family during this time!
I can only imagine… yes, she is probably dancing, singing and having a wonderful time! She’s in peace now!
David, I’ve never met you but I had known your mom since I was about 5. We both went to Pearland ISD. I graduated in 1962 and my brother in 1964. We will both miss Lucy. I even taught with her atJamisom Middle and knew your grandparents. She and they are missed. Prayers for you and your family.
David, what a Mom!!!! I met Lucy when I moved down the street in 1960 from them. My mom told me there was a girl standing by the gate to our house and had been there since early morning. It was Lucy coming to play. We always had good times and a friendship that lasted 60 years. Wow what a girl!!! I smile when I think of her!!!! Jennifer Lou Carlisle
As the only living person to have known Lucille Anthony since her birth, I envision her “dancing with the angels”. Her parents introduced my parents, she was born 14 days after I was born in October,1947. We came home from Hermann Hospital to our respective homes in very rural Pearland – our mothers were sisters and our fathers farmers\friends. We celebrated our birthdays together, attended Pearland schools from first through Senior year graduating in 1966, went to SHSU (as did our mothers), graduating in 1970. We went our ways: marrying, careers in education,raising our children-always, always connected, in touch, and laughing, always laughing!
Lucille was a one of a kind lady. I was around her a lot as a young child. She and my mom Susan were great friends. She is, by far, one of my most favorite people of all time….her stories, laughter and upbeat personality, sweetness and warmth. David, I know you must be so proud of her. Heaven just got a wonderful Angel.

What a wonderful soul! She was a great Mom to David, and a great educator. Loved her smile and loved her sharing books and stories with all.the kids at Jamison. David, you were always the Apple of her eye, and I was so honored to teach you in sixth grade. Remember her as the happy lady she was ! God bless your family. Becky Chase
I’ve just had my heart pulled out of my chest. Rest in peace Lucille.

I’m just sick. I just now found out. Lucille was someone who always made you feel special and was smiling and laughing every time you saw her. No exceptions.
