Mercy, as she was known to family and friends, was a hard worker from an early age picking cotton alongside her siblings and then transitioning into a working woman and mother. She held different jobs throughout the years but always provided for her children and passed that on to her two grandsons. She loved to laugh and have fun, especially with her family. Mercy would spend a Sunday tubing down the San Marcos River, enjoying a barbecue or spending time with family. She was a strong woman who fought a tough battle with cancer and will be missed by all who loved her. Memorial services will be held Saturday, September 1, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Parrish Hall at 205 W. Pecan St. in Lockhart, Texas.
