Obituary

Mrs. Lucille Scotton Currie, was born April 26, 1932 to late parents Sam and Nottie Dark. She departed this life, unexpectedly on Friday, September 20, 2019. 

Lucille was a devoted and loving mother, sister, grandmother and friend. She loved her family like none other, always willing to go without so someone else could have. She looked forward to her family coming together any time that they possible could and once they were together you could always hear her famous saying when it was time to depart, “well, you ain’t got to be in such a big hurry”. She was the glue that kept the family together.  

Lucille attended a local community school and was taught by Mrs. Mable Bowden near the family’s home. She was later educated at Chatham County Training School which became Chatham High School. She was a housekeeper and homemaker early in her career while later retiring after 30 years of service with Townsend Foods.
