AUSTINTOWN - Lucy J. Secka, 82, passed away peacefully, Wednesday afternoon, September 18, 2024, at The Woodlands at Austinwoods.

Born on May 6, 1942, in Youngstown, Lucy was the daughter of the late Paul M. Jones and Glesson J. Lookabaugh Jones, and she remained a lifelong resident of the area. She was a proud 1960 graduate of Austintown Fitch High School and continued her education at Youngstown State University. Throughout her life, Lucy wore many hats as she worked various jobs, all while lovingly raising and caring for her family.

A devoted member of Greenford Christian Church, Lucy's faith was central to her life. She cherished attending services, participating in Bible study, and spending time with her beloved church family. Her sunny personality was a perfect match for her love of the outdoors, whether she was traveling, soaking in the sunshine, or playing cards with friends. Dining out was always a highlight of her day, especially when shared with loved ones and friends.

Lucy's community involvement was important to her, too. She was a member of the Saxon Club and proudly served as Vice President of her high school class reunion committee, finding joy in reconnecting with classmates and friends.

She is survived by her two daughters, Tiffany Secka of St. Petersburg, FL, and Shelley (Bob) Sizer of Austintown; her grandson, Andrew Sizer; two sisters, Arlene (Ron) Hamerik of Girard and Cynthia Blubaugh of Virginia as well as many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews and her extended church family.

A brother, Charles Jones preceded Lucy in death.

Family and friends may call from 10 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 at Kinnick Funeral Home 477 N. Meridian Rd., Youngstown, where a funeral service will take place at 11 a.m.

Interment will follow at Four Mile Run Cemetery in Austintown.
