Lucille May Andrew was born May 21, 1916 in Briercrest, Saskatchewan to Olga Espelien and Oscar Andrew. The Andrew family moved to Prince George, BC in 1919. She attended school until eighth grade when she started her career working as a waitress. After Oscar died, her Mom married Ernie Carver, a loving grandfather to Olga's grandchildren. Lucy married Howard Johnson 9/26/38. They had one daughter, Beverley Mae. After Howard died in 1970 in Seattle, Lucy became a snowbird to Palm Springs California. She continued waitressing into her late 60's in California. In 1977, she moved to Homeland and Cathedral City, CA to be with Raymond Genereux until his death in 1994. She had been a resident of Long Beach since then until her death at Colonial Care Center April 1, 2005. Her family recalls that she loved to sing and dance, and as a cheerful, vivacious, bubbly redhead who loved a good joke, always had a twinkle in her eye. It seemed her goal was to never intentionally hurt anyone and to make all people feel her warmth and hospitality. In addition to her parents, an infant brother and her husband, she is predeceased by her brother, Orville Andrew in 1967 and her sister, Cora Hill, in 1988. She is survived by her daughter, Bev (Dick) Hawes, brother, Ken (Rose) Andrew, sister-in-law, Marj Andrew, 3 granddaughters, 4 great grandchildren. Donations in her memory are suggested to the Alzheimer’s Association (225 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 1700, Chicago, Illinois 60601-7633 or online at www.alz.org) or the American Cancer Society or your favorite charity.
