Local centenarian, Lucile "Lucy" Bartlett, 104, of Macy, was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 12:10 AM, Wednesday, August 28th, at Life Care Center of Rochester. On July 7, 1909, Mary Lucile "Lucy" Robins was born in Deedsville to Ray and Zella Kerschner Robins. Lucy shared her childhood with 3 sisters and a brother. In May of 1927, Lucy graduated with her class from Deedsville High School with great pride! Lucile and Maurice A. Bartlett were married on July 12, 1929 in Kewanna. They shared over 50 years of life's adventures. Together they raised five handsome sons. The family tree continued to grow as her legacy became blessed with five generations. Assisting her husband Maurice, Lucy helped out at Bartlett's Garage in Macy. During the school year while he was driving the bus, she would keep an eye on things and pumped gas. Other times she ran for parts heading up to Miller Brothers part store in Rochester. As a loving mother she peeled mountains of potatoes from her kitchen command post making the BEST fried potatoes. On wash day her clothes lines were loaded with overalls. One of her secrets of longevity is to persevere though life with a positive attitude and sweet personality, both were strengths of Lucy. She created gifts of warmth for her family and special friends by crocheting quilts. She also weaved rugs in interesting patterns. Bingo was her favorite game. Left with many wonderful memories of Lucy are her 4 loving sons: Byron "Bud" Bartlett and wife Ethel of Mishawaka, Glen Bartlett and wife Sharon of Macy, James Bartlett and wife Vicki of Rochester, and John Bartlett and wife Carol of Tucson, AZ; 8 grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren; several great great grandchildren; 3 sisters: Roseleen "Rosie" Day of Macy, Ruby Walker and husband Robert of Wabash, and Gaythal Boswell of Swayzee; a sister-in-law Norma Robins; and several nieces and nephews.

Bartlett; 3 grandchildren; and a brother Everett "Abe" Robins. Rev. Tony Bartlett will officiate services.
