Mary Lucille Alkire
She loved music; she loved to sing in the car. You just heard a medley of some of her favorite songs to sing. My grandma was many things.
She was our security, when she was around we felt like we could accomplish anything. She was our cheerleader. She loved to laugh and we loved to get her laughing. She trusted the Lord, she believed in him. She was our confidant, counselor and friend. She loved to make things and she always gave us homemade heartfelt gifts. They were my favorite.
She was proud of her grandkids and she loved to show us off. Anytime that Tiphanie and I would go to see her she had us scheduled to sing somewhere.
She cared about people. One of the frequent stops for us was a nursing home or a distant relative who might be lonely.
She loved to pull pranks on people, I’ve grown up listening to my mom tell stories of pranks that she has pulled on people and the pranks that people played on her. I wish I could do them Justice.
I want to close with a list of the things my grandmother was…
