Lucy died at Timber Lake, S. Dakota. Her daughter, Caroline went by train to Timber Lake and accompanied the body back to Iowa by train. A story within the family states that when her son Ed first saw his mother he did not recognize her as she had gotten so thin and wasted away. He had to find a mole on her right cheek to make sure it was his mother. Lucy had lived in South Dakota for several years with a cousin, Charles Belanski.
Lucy was robust, seldom smiled, and there is only one photo among all taken of Lucy that she is smiling. One of her grandchildren said she wore skirts with large pockets and always had them filled with peppermint candies that she would hand out to the grandchildren when they visited. It is also said within the family that she and her sister Mary did not get along and were always arguing about one thing or another. It seemed that Lucy was more of a free spirit and Mary the stuffy one who would lecture Lucy about her loose ways. Lucy only had her sister, no other siblings.
