LUCY SULLIVAN Obituary
LUCY ANDRICK SULLIVAN, 84, of Milton, passed away peacefully at home January 16, 2017. Her husband of 63 years, Harold Wayne Sullivan, survives her. They had three children, Nancy Hite Holliday ("Doc" Holliday), Columbia, Mo., Sandra Sowards (Jeff Sowards), Gainesville, Fla., and Jennifer Sullivan Spoor (Stephen Spoor), Milton, W.Va. She had six grandchildren, Jenna Meadows, Summer Shepard, Jacob and Ian Sowards, and Lilly and Jessica Spoor, as well as nine great-grandchildren. She is survived by one brother, James Leo Andrick, New Cumberland, PA. Her parents, Freddie Guy and Ruth Somerville Andrick, predeceased her, as well as one brother, Carl Preston Andrick. Lucy, or "Miss Lucy" as her students fondly called her in later years, taught Home Economics 35 years in Cabell and Mason Counties. In 1989 she was named the WV Home Economics Teacher of the Year. She retired from Cabell Midland High School where she had taught family and consumer sciences. After her retirement she wrote a cookbook, "Miss Lucy's De-lite-ful Cookbook," based on her low-fat cooking seminars. Many will also remember her years teaching sewing in adult education classes. The congregation of Milton United Methodist Church will cherish her loving spirit and years of service. She touched thousands of lives, because she lived to teach. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, January 19, at Heck Funeral Home, Milton. Funeral will be Friday, January 20, at 1 p.m., at Milton United Methodist Church, conducted by the Rev. Lynn Cartwright. Burial will follow in Forest Memorial Park, Milton. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.heckfuneralhome.com.

Lucy was a delightful lady. Her dad and my grandfather were brothers! It was joy to visit with her at family reunions and state Home Economic meetings over the years. Sending sympathy to family and friends. Sharyn Wells Sims

Fond memories of a great cousin. Our parents Robert "Bob and Edith" Somerville
always had a special place in their heart
for their nieces and nephews.
Carol & (Marlin Sams), Janet Corbin, and Barbara "Bobbie" Somerville.
Lucy was very special to me, (Carol) and
I always admired her. Fun times staying with Aunt Ruth and doing all fun things. Especially catching crawdads and picking huckleberries. Marlin, tells many times of going to the serenade for Lucy and Harold and wondering from where did all the people come?
Knowing the Holy Spirit will comfort you as promised, and thinking of the scripture II Samuel 12:23c. May your hearts be comforted.

We were in a quilt guild together but I first met Miss Lucy when she asked me to demonstrate cake decorating for her class. Such a wonderful person and teacher. She will be greatly missed.
