Mrs. Lacey was born January 13, 1935 in Jenkins, Kentucky; and was the oldest of 12 children to the late Thurman and Dollie Dimples (Robbins) Jenkins.

A member of the Lisbon Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, she had worked as a waitress and cook and also as a caregiver.  She also enjoyed gardening, travelling and she was so happy that she had fulfilled one of her “bucket list items” by taking a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon.

She is survived by her children, Mike Lee (Glenda) Lacey of Minerva, Patricia Lea (Bill) Lemal of Leetonia, Robin Roselle (Lawrence) Huff of Hanoverton, Robert Eugene Lacey, Jr. of Carrollton, Kentucky, and Tammy Diane (Mark) Smith of Salem.  She also leaves her grandchildren, Mitch, Mike, Ronnie, Bobbi Jo, Patrick, Billy, Jim, Shelly, Ben, Dalton, Scott, Steve, and Adam; 20 great grandchildren; and 5 great great grandsons.

Mrs. Lacey was also survived by her sisters, Mary McGuire of Dungannon, Reva Dekman of Rogers, Desta McGuire of Dungannon, Patti Jenkins of Lisbon, Billie Bertini of Amsterdam, Carol Tetzlaff of Chicago, and Edna Jenkins of Hanoverton; and by her brother, Jeffrey Jenkins of Kensington.
