Our Mom went to see Jesus and all her family on December 15, 2021. Lucy was 94. She was born February 9, 1927 to Alexander Crawley and Ruth Dale Crawley. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James E. Wellman, and her siblings, Nelson Crawley, Ralph Crawley, Howard Crawley, Virgil Crawley, William Crawley, Derlene Brittain and Verlie Smith.
She was a charter member of Grace Baptist Church and loved her church. She worked at Shadowline for many years then at Burke Yarns in Valdese. Then later, she enjoyed working with kids at Hopewell Day Care.
Her passion besides loving and caring for her children and grandchildren was bowling, fishing with her husband and writing cards to people and receiving them. For many years, she loved working puzzles, framing them and giving them to family and friends.
Lucy is survived by her children, Diann Pearson, Jimmy Wellman (Debbie), and Brenda Clark (Randy). Her beloved grandchildren are Lorrie Patton, Amy Clarke, Clint Wellman, Wendy Houk, Jamie Clark, Dana Hensley and Chris Wellman. She has 17 great-grandchildren.

Marty Bess, Rev, Eugene Ridley and Rev. Randy Clark officiating. Burial will follow at Salem United Methodist Church.
