She grew up on a farm just outside of the city limits of Lancaster with her brother and two sisters. She excelled in math in school. She always enjoyed telling her family how she had to walk a mile to catch the bus.
She accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Salem Baptist Church.
She enjoyed attending Sunday School and participating in church activities and often took vacation time to work in Vacation Bible School.
Lucy started her banking career in 1956 at Taylor County Bank after graduating from college. During this time, she met and married James E. Wayne. They were married in 1958 and had three children. She spent forty years working full-time and five years part time. She rarely missed a day of work and was an Executive Vice President of Financial Services.
She also spent many hours helping on the family farm. She raised a garden and canned many jars of beans and tomatoes and froze many bags of corn. She has always enjoyed sewing and crocheting and was an extreme perfectionist with her sewing. Lucy also truly enjoyed spending time with her five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She loved to show them new things and watch them learn to do things. She was quick to talk about them and show pictures.
