Velma Lucille Canada

Velma Lucille Canada passed away peacefully in the arms 
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 14, 2023. 
Velma Lucille Vandergriff was born December 26, 1932
 in Knox County, Tennessee.

Velma Lucille Vandergriff was married on December
11, 1940 to Herman Ray Canada. Lucille was preceded 
in death by her husband Herman Ray Canada and her 
eldest daughter Linda Rhea Graveen. She is survived by
 her remaining children, grandchildren and great 
grandchildren. Lucille's children: Ray Canada Jr and
wife Mary, Thelma Fisher and Rob Canada and wife 
Amy. Lucille's grandchildren: Shane Fisher and wife

Joe Caballero, Chris Canada and wife Kandace, 
Amanda Allison and husband Davy, Bethany Boyer

After the death of her husband along with some 
medical issues, Lucille became a resident at Parkview
Heights Care Center in Garnett, Kansas, where she 
was loved and cared for until the end. Her aides and
nurses became part of her extended family and loved 
her dearly. Lucille was a loving wife, mother and 
grandmother (Mama) and had a smile that would light
up the room. Her laugh will forever fill the hearts of 
those that she was around as well as the smells from 
her kitchen. Lucille was truly loved by all and her
presence in this world will be missed.

A memorial of Lucille's life will be held at 2:00 PM, 
Saturday, January 21, 2023 at Mt. Zion Old Cumberland
