We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother Lucille Marie Hummell. Lucille returned to our Heavenly Father on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, with family members gathered about her.

Lucy, as she is affectionately known, was born in the coal mining town of Iaeger, West Virginia on the 4th of January 1937. She was one of eleven children and the second eldest daughter of three daughters of James Edward and Hattie Mae (Waldron) Dawson. She was in fact a coal miner’s daughter.

She was preceded in death by her eldest daughter Charlotte Elaine (Dave) Hancey; and survived by her loving husband of seventy-two years Kenneth Arnold Hummell, her children Kenneth Edward (Joan C.) Hummell, Kathleen Marie (Gregg B.) Hinds, Sarah Diane (Dell J) Facer, 19 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren.

Lucy was a Navy wife for twenty years, serving in various charitable organizations such as the Officer’s Wives Club and the Navy-Marine Relief Society, and employed as needed as a United States census enumerator.

After twenty-three years of service, her husband Ken retired from the United States Navy, and Lucy embarked on a twenty-one-year career as a service specialist and supervisor in the Utah Weber County School District Lunch program. Her culinary talent and skills were nurtured in her youth by assisting her mother in feeding a rather large voracious family and continued to mature as a Navy wife as she was challenged in preparing various domestic and foreign cuisines. These experiences were also instrumental in her securing an admirable standing among her peers and co-workers, who became her closest and dear friends. Through the years, even upon retiring, Lucy was called upon for Church and family gatherings to prepare her homemade famous rolls, tasty dishes such as her German potato salad and rot kohl, and baked confectionaries like pecan meltaway cookies.

As a convert and long-standing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Lucy’s compassion had no bounds. She willingly accepted and faithfully served in a number of various callings in the women’s auxiliary organizations of the Church, which encompassed both the Relief Society and Young Women. She was particularly grateful for serving Young Women as Camp Director.

Of the services she rendered in her life, Lucy considered it a blessing to serve her husband Ken and all of her children, and considered their offspring to be an eternal blessing.

Mom, “You held our hands for a short while, but our hearts are forever yours.”

Funeral Services will be held Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at the Park Ward Chapel, 5601 S 6100 W, Hooper, UT, at 11:00 AM. A viewing will be held on Monday, April 13, 2026 at Myers Mortuary 5865 S 1900 W Roy, Utah, from 6:00 – 8:00 PM and prior to the services at the church from 9:30-10:30 AM.
