Lucy plans to keep a busy lifestyle after ending her career. She is a big advocate for seeing the world and plans on traveling frequently and often. Her grandkids also keep her on her toes from sporting events to birthday parties. All of this just means more opportunities to learn new recipes and cook for everyone which she greatly enjoys around the holidays. Her family is very proud of all of her accomplishments over the years and cannot wait to see what else life has to offer.

Once her career as a traveling OT was complete, she and her husband settled down and started a family.  She has 2 sons and adores them dearly.  They both have 3 children of their own, giving her fun and active summers and eventful school years.  Keeping her traveling blood pumping, she did find time once a year to visit a new place and she cherished that trip every year.   This gave her a new found motivation and love for scrapbooking and starting a massive arrangement of keepsakes above the fireplace.

Growing up in Metro-Detroit, Lucy is a diehard sports fan. She jumps at any chance to go back up to the state and catch a Tigers, Lions, Red Wings, or Pistons game. Taking long drives up and around the state parks up north are always taken when she visits. She loves to get around any new city or place by biking and taking her time capturing aesthetic photographs to frame in her home. This includes many trips to the beach with friends and family.
