Grandma Lucy

On this Memorial Day weekend I would like to tell you about my mother, Lucy Catherine Nofs.

She met my father when they were both working at Sperrys Department Store in Port Huron. She was the manager of the Infants Department and my father worked in the Furniture Department. They married in 1928 and moved to Carsonville when I was 3 months old.

In Carsonville my mother did the bookkeeping for my father's meat delivery business and grocery store. She also bought greeting cards wholesale and sold them to friends and neighbors
for extra spending money. She was a devout Catholic, very good violinist (loved our violin and piano duets) and was a member of the school board when I was in school. She also took the test to be Postmistress and passed it just a couple of weeks before her death in 1950.

Judy was 2 years old and Pat was 1 year old when the auto accident occurred May 20, 1950. Mom and Dad had attended a wedding reception in Port Sanilac that Saturday evening and were on their way home. Your Dad and Grandpa Harvey got the ambulance call and took them to Sandusky Hospital. Mom died the next day and Dad was in the hospital for nine months with a fractured hip.

They are still here in our hearts and thoughts.

Love to All, Mom (Grandma & Great-Grandma)
