Born December 27, 1951, she is survived by her mother, May Livesay; brother, Larry Livesay; sisters, Linda Kring, Loretta Livesay and Laura Livesay; daughter, Crystal Jester; five grandchildren; and her husband, Richard of the home. A member of the Cherokee Nation, Lucy was born in Lawton, Oklahoma. Lucy's early life centered on the Quarter horses which her family raised while moving throughout the Southwest with her contractor father. In spite of the lack of formal food service training, Lucy rose through the ranks to become Quality Control Manager for the Western United States for Pizza Hut International. In 1975 she married Richard and a few years later Richard was sent to Germany. Shortly she joined him and spent six years traveling in and learning about Europe. Lucy and her husband returned to the U.S. and settled in Albuquerque. Lucy developed a hunger for knowledge of those things which she enjoyed. She entered the University of New Mexico, majoring in Biology and Anthropology. After graduating Summa cum Laude, she attended the University of New Mexico School of Law, receiving her Juris Doctor in 2002. In 2004 she was admitted to the Bar, having tested in the top 15% of the nation's candidates. In addition to her love of the law and the opportunity which it provided to help people, she enjoyed cooking, particularly native Cherokee foods which she also grew. She served on the board of the Rio Grande Nature Center and as President of the Native Plant Society. She enjoyed beading, tending her antique roses, and genealogical research into her family's roots. Lucy once stated, "I believe that to whom much is given, much is expected and so I seek to serve when needed...." Lucy, our love, you are and will be sorely missed.

LARGENT -- Steven Largent Born May 18, 1946 in Council Bluffs, IA - Died March 30, 2006 in Albuquerque, NM. Pops passed too quickly after being diagnosed with ALS, and we are deeply grieved. In tribute, we've collected some thoughts to describe our husband, son, father, and friend. As a partner, father, family member, friend, neighbor or acquaintance, Steve was true blue to himself and others without pretense. Steve was a family man and always made his family and friends his priority who all benefited from his love, compassion, and support. He never met a person who wasn't a friend. He never met someone for whom he didn't have a friendly word. Steve was a big hearted mechanic in a family of the mechanically challenged - now we'll all have to learn new skills. He generously gave to and shared with everyone - if someone needed anything, he was there for them. Steve was devoted to his wife, children, friends, work, and hobbies - he always found the time for the many things important in his life. Steve was fluent in love, friendship and four languages, all in search of fellowship. He always went above and beyond in anything that was asked of him. Steve had a laugh and an infectious smile that could brighten any room. . . Pops was a hero; he gave his life totally to the people and causes important to him, and in our book, that makes him a hero.
