Obituary of Betty "Betsy" Lou Lucy

     Betty Lou Lucy, 89, died on March 14th 2023.  “Betsy”, daughter of Elsie and Alexander Craig passed away peacefully in her home in the Gold Hill area of Placerville, CA. She is survived by her partner, Brian Lemley, her two sons, Scott Lucy and Brian Lucy, her daughter, Sharon Lucy, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Betsy Lucy was a homemaker for most of her life. She lived in many places across the country, but after arriving in the Placerville area with her (now deceased) husband, Jim Lucy, in 1983, she created and operated an antique furniture store, “Betsy’s Place”, in Diamond Springs.  Betsy loved to reminisce about her childhood which included weekend trips with her parents to visit her grandfather’s (Noble Rhinesmith) farm in upstate New Jersey.  She enjoyed restoring old furniture, cooking, reading, gardening, dancing, painting, and traveling.  Her travel adventures took her across our country and all over the globe. Everyone who met her admired her spirit, her style, her beauty, her sense of humor, her kindness, and her willingness to experience all that life offered to her.  She is already greatly missed by family and many friends near and far.
