Lucy was born on December 1, 1927 to loving parents, Elmer and Millie Traver in Woodward, Oklahoma. She attended elementary and high school locally, graduating in 1946. Lucy left home soon after to attend Phillips University and Enid Business College.

Lucy married the love of her life Phil in February 1962, they enjoyed thirty-one wonderful years together. Phil left Lucy’s loving arms in April 1993. Her love for music led her to an organ class for seniors at Romeo Music in the fall of 1993 where she learned to play beautifully. She purchased a beautiful organ and placed it in her sunroom and enjoyed it almost daily. Lucy also enjoyed a LIFE club she joined through her organ group. To brighten her days with fun and frolic the Fun & Sassy Club came to the rescue, this Red Hat Group enjoys many activities throughout each month. Lucy touched many lives and formed many close friendships through the years. Gardening and photography were avid hobbies.

She was preceded in death by Elmer Traver (father), Millie Mote Traver (mother), Philip G. Thayer(husband), and many other loving family members.
