On November 12, 1925, in Russellville, South Carolina, Lucy was born to the late Jessie Berkeley Lloyd and Rachel Washington Lloyd. She was known as the last pioneer of the Lloyd family. Lucy was reared and educated in the public schools of Berkeley County. Her main job was to care for her family. Lucy accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age and joined Redeemer Reformed Episcopal Church until she relocated to the Old Field Section of St. Stephen. She was one of the original members that participated during the ribbon cutting ceremony at Calvary Reformed Episcopal Church in late 1949. Lucy had a great, genuine love and care for children. God blessed her to care for over 80 plus children during her life. All of these children continue to call her "Grand Mom". Lucy was actively involved in Calvary Church's activities which include: member of the Vestry, Church delegate to Council, member of the Senior Choir, President of the Women of the Church for many years, President of the Missionary Society, member of the Family Week Committee, and former member of the Usher Board. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, St. John Chapter No. 213. One of the greatest recognitions that Lucy was very proud of was when she was recognized by the Sunday School Convention of the Diocese of the Southeast of the Reformed Episcopal Church for her 50 years of service as Sunday School Superintendent at Calvary Church. This Award was entitled "The Lucy Jefferson Award" which is given annually during the Sunday School Convention to a Sunday School Scholar who has achieved above success in Sunday School. Lucy was a botanical genius who loved working in her yard and caring for her flowers. She loved traveling with her family and seeing new places. She had a very "special gift" with loving people and claiming everyone as family. Her memory will forever live in the hearts of: her loving husband of over 66 years, William of St. Stephen, SC; children, Alphonso William Jefferson (Sarah) of Bonneau, SC, Ruthie M. Bradshaw (Joseph) of Salters, SC, George Henry Jefferson (Beverly) of St. Stephen, SC, Rachel A. White of St. Stephen, SC, Sarah Lee (Herbert) Milligan of Pineville, SC, Rebecca J.

A. Sims and the Calvary Reformed Episcopal Church Family; special friends, Theresa Sumpter, Alice Prioleau, and Elise Locklair and her family.
