Dorothy Lucas Obituary

Dorothy Mae Lucas, 86, of Macon, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at Samaritan Memorial Hospital in Macon, surrounded by her loving family.
Dorothy was born on December 18, 1938, in College Mound, Missouri, the daughter of Frank and Georgia (Teter) Lucas. Raised in a close-knit, rural community, Dorothy carried the values of hard work, kindness, and simplicity throughout her life.

Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by her siblings: Donna (Gary) Turner of Salisbury, MO; Connie (James) Deskin of Macon, MO; Louise (Don) Eaves of Bull Head City, AZ; and Phillp Lucas of Columbia, MO. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews: Sharon Eastin, Cindy Turner-Lancial, Debbie Turner-Minor, Jason Dennis-Kulak, JoAnna Dennis, James Deskin, and Troy Deskin.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Georgia Lucas; her brother, Dean Lucas; and her niece, Anita Richardson.
