It took exactly one cup of raw peanuts, per batch for Lucille Greer’s signature recipe peanut brittle. She would make 200 pounds of the crunchy candy each Christmas season for family and friends. The temperature, the butter and sugar were key ingredients, but it was her loving care that always made the confection perfect.
Lucy Greer passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 13, 2015 in Brookdale Assisted Living in Mount Vernon. She was 76.
She was born June 11, 1939 to parents Glenn & Ferol (Payne) Ferenbaugh in Mount Vernon. Lucille graduated from Danville High School with the class of 1958.
On February 15, 1964, she married the love of her life Richard Greer and together they spent 51 wonderful years.
Lucy worked at Therm-O-Disc, where she worked for over 43 years until retiring in 2007.
To say that Lucy enjoyed traveling was an understatement. Taking trips to Las Vegas, Oregon or Tennessee, she always enjoyed traveling. Motorhome travel was yet another form of travel that she enjoyed. She was one who loved life, family and friends.
In addition to her loving husband she is survived by brothers Rodney Ferenbaugh of Mt. Vernon, Bob Ferenbaugh of Chillicothe, Glenn Ferenbaugh of Howard, Albert Ferenbaugh of Danville and Gerald Ferenbaugh of Danville; sisters Twilla Colopy of Danville, Kay Weyhmeller of Bellville, Helen Grassbaugh of Glendale, Arizona and Carol Grassbaugh of Glenmont; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Clyde Ferenbaugh and Ed Ferenbaugh and sisters Marilla Thorpe and Rosalie Boyce.
