Lu was a loving 
wife and mother and a woman whose faith inspired many. She is remembered by family and friends for her generous and loving nature, her devotion to God and family, and for her smiles. Her warm and accepting nature made her a favorite among her children’s friends and her loving heart endeared her to the many people she touched. Although she leaves behind many loved ones who will miss her, they all know that this is not the end but a glorious beginning.
Dear Cindy, Our thoughts are with you, including happy memories of your mom, and we will always remember her for her warm smile and the thoughtful blanket she knitted for Delia.
Lu Ethel was a special one, she will be missed by so many. She has been the matriarch of a large family for several years and my oldest surviving cousin. Our visits were always delightful and full of talk of family. Our prayers and thoughts are with her family while they say goodbye to her in this material world, but knowing they will reunite in the next!
Most loving and wonderful Aunt, ever. I have so many precious and loving memories of her. She was definitely my second mother. Lula Ethel was not just my mother’s sister, she was her best friend.
