    Doris Mae Lacy

    December 31, 1938 - November 26, 2011

    Doris Mae Lacy of Benton Harbor, departed this life and went home to be with her Lord and Saviour at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, at the Royalton Manor Nursing Home in St. Joseph. Doris was born on December 31, 1938 in Battle Creek, MI, one of four children to William Douglas Lacy, Sr. and Doris Louise (Franklin) Lacy. Her family moved to Benton Harbor, in 1942. Doris grew up and attended schools in Benton Harbor, starting at Seely McCord Grade School on up to graduation from Benton Harbor High School in 1956. Upon graduation from high school, Doris attended Benton Harbor Community College, now Lake Michigan College. After this, Doris began working for Michigan Bell Telephone Co. where she worked for nearly 20 years, later becoming Office Manager of Bibco Corp. in Benton Harbor until her retirement. Doris was baptized at the age of four in Union Memorial A.M.E. Church on Colfax and Bond Streets in Benton Harbor, where her parents joined after their move to Benton Harbor. During her youth, she attended Sunday school faithfully, ushered, sang in the youth choir and participated in many other local events and activities. She was a very loving and kind person and was especially fond of animals, faithfully feeding many stray cats, dogs and birds in her neighborhood. One of her great pastimes was working puzzles as well as listening to her favorite music. Doris leaves behind her loving family members: sister, Barbara Gill McGinnis of St. Joseph; brother, James (Veda) H.G. Lacy, Sr., of San Antonio, TX; many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncle, cousins and other family members and friends. She is pre-deceased by her parents; brother, Williams (Bill) Douglas Lacy, Jr.; nephew William Stanhope Lacy; grandparents, uncles and aunts. Doris will be greatly missed and will live forever and lovingly in our hearts. Funeral services for Lacy will be at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1 at the Fairplain Chapel of Florin Funeral Service, 1053 E. Napier, in Benton Harbor. Visitation will be held from noon until the service. Interment will be in Crystal Springs Memorial Park, Benton Harbor. Memorial donations may be made to the Humane Society of SW Michigan. Messages of condolence may be sent to www.florin.net.
