Lockie loved her grandbabies and she was the family's encyclopedia on "How to Fix What's Wrong With Your Infant." She had a knack for cooking great food and all of the kids looked forward to her Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners at her house for many years. She liked to sew and she had a fondness for watching college football. She enjoyed spending time going out with all her girls whether it be to a movie, shopping, or out to eat at one of her favorite restaurants. She taught many of us how to laugh loudly and the laughing sound she made will carry on in her children's and grandchildren's voices for many years to come.

Friends and family will be accepted on Friday from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at the Lakewood Funeral Home in Lake Jackson.
