Lucia Burrows "Lucy" Truan

Truan, Lucia Burrows, “Lucy”, age 94, passed away April 8, 2014 at her home. Lucy expressed her servant’s heart and gentle spirit by ministering to her family and friends in words and deeds. Sending encouraging notes on greeting cards and baking cookies and treats were some of her gifts to others. She was an avid reader and writer, great cook and green-thumb gardener, always seeing the beauty in all things. Even as Alzheimer’s disease and macular degeneration took her mind and her sight, she delighted in singing the old hymns. She enjoyed worshipping her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with friends at Berean Bible Church and Buffat Heights Baptist Church. Loved ones will miss a dear mom, mother-in-law, grandma, great “granny”, sister “Luke” and special Aunt Lucy. She is preceded in death by her husband, Jack; and sister, Sis Parry. Survived by son, Stanley Truan; daughter and son-in-law, Evalena and Wayne Knauss; grandchildren, Rob Truan, Cheryl (Todd) Wagner, Todd (Wanda) Truan, Greg (Paula) Knauss, Brad (Missy) Knauss, Cynthia (Bill) Nelson; great-grandchildren, Tristin and Luke Wagner, Tyler and Ryan Knauss, Blake Knauss, Will and Lauren Nelson; sisters, Kack Moore of Westfield, IN and Babs Hybarger of Sheridan, IN and many nieces and nephews.
