"Luci" Lucille Bruther Jackson Obituary (1929

Mrs. Lucille "Luci" Bruther Jackson, age 92, of Lexington, Indiana, entered this life on February 15, 1929, in Jefferson County, Indiana. She was the fourth daughter of Gordon W. Bruther and Eva Mae Means Bruther, both of who preceded her in death. On Pearl Harbor Day, when Luci was just 12, she and her six siblings, ages 3 to 15, lost their loving mother unexpectedly. Though just a child herself, Luci stepped in and helped raise her siblings. On March 15, 1947, she was united in marriage to Millis L. Jackson, a Saluda boy. This happy union of 51 years was blessed with a son, Jerry Lynn, and a daughter, Teri Marie. Luci was a member of the New Prospect Baptist Church. She was a homemaker and a farmer's wife, being a partner in Jackson Brothers Farms. Over the years, many farmhands enjoyed elaborate homecooked meals at her table and came to love her as a second mother. Luci was seen as a beautiful and elegant lady by all who knew her, always aware of the latest fashion and wearing beautiful jewelry and clothing. She particularly enjoyed trendy shoes. Luci's children and their families lived nearby on the family farm their whole lives, bringing her much joy. In July 1986, she suffered the tragic loss of her oldest granddaughter, Rachel Lynn Jackson, whose memory she cherished every day for the rest of her life. "Mammaw Luci" was so beloved to her family that two of her great granddaughters bear her name. In her golden years, Luci enjoyed the companionship of her lifelong friend, Norman Wiggam, who died in March 2018. After being cared for by her loving family for nearly four months at home on the family farm where she lived more than 70 years, Luci died at peace the morning of Wednesday, March 31, 2021.
