Lucy was born on October 8, 1929, in Siloam, NC. She was the daughter of the late Isaac Lester Creed and Lillie Mae Flippin Creed. Lucy felt a profound calling to be a minister’s wife, and her unwavering commitment to working alongside her husband for 57 years in the ministry and mission work was a testament to her devotion to her faith, her husband, and her beliefs.
