You have eloquently honored Lucy's life, which is a difficult thing to do for anyone. You continue to do this for all the people you bring to us, alive and passed. It's a gift to us that we appreciate and value. Thanks, John, for doing this for them and for us.
Well said. As I have passed 80 I realize that we are living too long. Our parts weren’t made to go this far, and start failing. Lucy found this too, so just remember the great times, and keep smiling!
John - Isn't it great day. No contracts, no money, no which school will it be, no portal talk.....juts a great story about an average, wonderful, human being. I'm glad you choose to right stories where the thread is sports, but the story is the people. That is why when your amazing photographers post pictures of the crowds at sporting events, I always comment. None of this would exist without the fans. Thank You.
Another home run.

A salute to OSU Lucy. A life well lived leaves others enriched and grateful.
When I finished reading your piece, John, my mind went right to the Jackie Robinson quote I love:
“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”
That was Lucy. Truly, a life well lived. Thanks for sharing a bit of her with us.
Oh my! JC this is one of your very best!
I can relate to so much…the teaching, subbing, water skiing…
As I approach 80, she makes me realize how much of life’s adventures remain.
Thanks for remembering the fans too. ❤️

…and “doing” 😊
John. Lucy was a Gem of a Beaver ! I remember seeing her in Eugene-Autzen, at Civil War Games , which OSU normally won during the Dee Andros Era !
She was a Tiger and fearless proud OSU Beaver ! RIP, Lucy !

I remember seeing her at our baseball games in the mid to late 80's. Always with positive comments.

Thanks to Lucy for a life well lived. And thank you John for giving us insight into a bit of that life.
Damned dust finds a way to one's eyes.
Nice, John, once again. You make me feel like I knew her.
RIP Lucy ...
Another great story of an extraordinary fan, and an extraordinary human!
John, you did it justice.
Thanks!
Wonderful, warm, friendly reminder of how wonderful this life can be.
What a beautiful tribute, my kind of OSU fan. 🧡
Another life/sports article that brings happy tears to my eyes! Thanks John!
Sports Matter!
