Lucretia Ann McClure Meadows Ross, 67, of St. Albans went to be with the Lord Monday, January 7, 2013.
She was co-valedictorian of the 1962 graduating class of Duval High School, and later graduated from Berea College, KY. She received her teaching certificate from Morris Harvey College, Charleston and taught at Midway Elementary School, Alum Creek. Lucretia was a member of Lower Falls Baptist Church and a faithful Christian, whether it be through her daily Bible devotion time, prayer for others, or through the light of Christ’s love that radiated from every fiber of her being, her life was a true testament to God’s love and His plan of salvation. This world will never be the same without her light which shined wherever she went. Although our lives must go on without her, she will forever remain etched into our souls. Lucretia was a good example of Matthew 5:14-16, by being a light not hidden to the world around her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Denver and Virgie Marker McClure and brother, Dempsey McClure.
She is survived by her son, Derick and wife, Andria Meadows of Houston, TX; daughter, Kristan Meadows and husband, Alan Walz of Alkol; grandchildren, Jacob, Adam and Elizabeth Meadows and Daniel and Hannah Walz; former husband, Frederick Meadows of KY; sisters, Betty (Lane) Griffith, Joyce (Ray) Schlichting and Janet Turley and special friend, Susie Stanley.
Funeral service will be 11:00 am Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at Curry Funeral Home, 2097 Chidlress Road, Alum Creek with Pastor Brian Donze officiating. Burial will follow in Lively Cemetery, Sod. Family and friends will gather from 6 to 8 pm Monday at the funeral home.
The family will receive flowers or donations may be made to Lower Falls Baptist Church, 1777 Strawberry Road, St. Albans, WV 25177.
Hello –
I am Andrew’s (Jack’s) daughter. I am so sorry and did not know until today. She will be missed more than you know. Again – I missed her throughout my time away from WV and never knew how to find her. I pray for all family members.
