Lula Mae Lackey's Obituary
Lula Mae Lackey went home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 7, 2018. She was born on February 24, 1926 in Ravenscroft, Tennessee to Earnest and Edith Guy and spent most of her childhood in Lynch, Kentucky with her 6 siblings, including her twin brother, all of whom have preceded her in death. She was married for 64 years to Earnest Lackey Jr., who also preceded her in death, and bravely served his country during World War II with both the Army Air Force and the Army branches of the United States Military.
Lula is survived by her three children, Linda L. Boone, Annette L. Herman and Earnest L. Lackey, III along with her grandchildren, Jennifer Moore, William Herman, Nancy, Martha, Ernie West, Melanie Downing, Emiley Vandenbil and Aaron Boone and her 13 great-grandchildren.
Lula enjoyed a full life also serving her country during World War II as a “Rosie the Riveter” and thrived as one of the early female appliance sales persons at Montgomery Ward Department Store in Baltimore, Maryland. She greatly enjoyed reading her Bible, attending church, shopping and spending time with her family. She was one of the founding members of Grace Bible Baptist Church located in Baltimore, Maryland and found great joy in sharing her faith and her love of Jesus with others. Lula was well loved by her family and friends and although we will deeply miss her, we know she is finally celebrating in heaven. We are thankful to a Savior that allows us this blessed hope. I Corinthians 15:55 – Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”
