Cline Lacy

March 7th, 2019 | Posted by curryfuneralhome in Obituaries - (5 Comments)

Cline Lacy’s faith gave way to sight on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, as he came face to face with Jesus.  Cline was born on April 4, 1926, to the late Watson & Ova Lacy.  He was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Betty Lacy, and their son, Harse Lacy.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving children, Vinell Lacy, Skip (Tammy) Lacy, Randall (Brenda) Lacy, Ashley (Debbie) Lacy and Marlene (John) Solberg; grandchildren, Chris, Nick, Miranda, Preston, Chastity, Amanda, Kelli, Rachel and Joseph; great-grandchildren, Collin, Emma, Taya, Bailea, Isaiah, Victoria, Malachi, Kenley, Isabella, Issac, Jackson and Austin.  He left one brother, Dillon Lacy, and Ron Smith who was like a son.

He was retired from C&O Railroad.

We would like to give special thanks to Melissa Lacy for the wonderful love and care she provided over the last several months and to Dempsey Lacy for visiting him often and being there when needed.

Cline was a Christian and a man of great faith.  Cline loved picnics and telling stories about old times.  He was proud of the beautiful garden he grew until he was 89 years young.  He enjoyed hiding the children’s shoes as a fun game.  He also loved hunting and shooting.  But his favorite past time was taking silly pictures with Emma.  There was never a time that you visited that he did not remark “When you coming back”.

The greatest gift he left was the promise that we will see him again.  He did not say “Goodbye”, instead, he said “I’ll see you later”.  Every night before going to bed he would ask the Lord to save his family.  His greatest desire in life was to see each and everyone of his family in Heaven.

The family will have a celebration of his life with a graveside service at 1:00pm, Saturday, March 9, 2019, at Pine Grove Cemetery, Sumerco, with Pastor David Bragg officiating.
