Lucy Custer, a beacon of love, compassion, and unyielding spirit, passed away due to respiratory infection. Born on September 13, 1931, in Catlettsburg, Kentucky, Lucy entered this world surrounded by the love of her parents, Oliver and Helen Cumpston, who preceded her in death. Their values and nurturing spirit laid the foundation for the remarkable woman Lucy grew to be.

Lucy was the proud daughter of Catlettsburg, where she completed her early education. She graduated from Boyd County High School and went on to achieve a significant milestone as the first in her family to attend college. Earning a scholarship, she pursued her passion for helping others and became a registered nurse.
