Bio

Lucy Clara Bollom Chancy, 87, passed away on June 15, 2011 in Tomball, Texas. She is preceded in death by her husband, Jackson H. Chancy; Parents, John and Agnes Matejek Bollom; brothers and sisters, Alfred, Charles, Joe, John, William, Pauline, Lillie and Annie. Lucy loved her family, her children were her pride and joy. She was an outside person that believed in hard work and trust in God. Her trust in God was the principle that guided her life everyday. Lucy had her life priorities as: 1. Jesus, 2. Family - especially kids, 3. Work. She always had to be working by doing something. She just worked herself to death. She had to plant, clean, wash, cook and had to do something active. This was true even if you had a recent medical treatment, why were you not working the next day? She loved her daughters and grand kids and had a special place in her heart for her great-grandson. As they grew she was always there in their lives with her opinion, guidance and love. She was a dedicated Christian woman and raised her family in the Word of the Lord. She will always be remembered by those who loved her as a strong Christian woman who valued her family and her work.We Remember Lucy, Mrs. Chancy, Momma, Grandma John, powder blue, babies, early summer, breakfast, coffee with cream, The Bachelor, chores, and praying. Lucy cherished her father and thought of him all the time. He taught her how to garden and how to cook. He had worked in a restaurant when he was very young. When she was growing up, her favorite place in the neighborhood was the Roznosky's. She loved her garden. She always had flowers and plants growing, roses, zinnias, and a vegetable garden. Early summer was her favorite season. It did not matter if it was hot. She enjoyed watching her soap operas, Mr. Bean, The Bachelor and Ma and Pa Kettle because there were lots of kids. She loved her great-grandson. He made her happy. She just loved babies and her grandkids. The grandkids used to go see her at K-Mart and she came over on Wednesdays which was her day off. When the kids were little and they spent the night with her, they liked to smell breakfast before they got out of bed. Her favorite meal was breakfast. She usually had something good to eat or share with them like Fritos, peanut m & ms, bugles, Dr Pepper or Double Mint gum. Everyone enjoyed her kolaches when she would bring a batch in the morning. Big Jackson loves her chicken and barbeque sauce which is the best in the world, and her Hershey Kiss cookies. Grandma asked William if he wanted a brownie. William tried to convince her that her "Brownies" really should not be called "Brownies" because they are cookies and they are not even chocolate. Other memories include Janna getting a donation box of clothes ready and discovering the next time she saw Grandma that she was wearing clothes from the donation box. She had decided they were still good and should not be given away and she would wear them even if they were from the Junior Department of the store. Janna is not the only person that told this story. Once Janna and Judith were driving on Huffmeister back when it was 2 lanes and there was a string of cars in front of them. They said, "We must be behind some grandma." Then they got to where it becomes 4 lanes and the cars were moving faster. They saw that the grandma slowing down traffic was their Grandma. One day Jamie was concerned about there being something wrong with Grandma when she heard her talking on the phone. We decided that there wasn't anything wrong. She was only talking Czech. Her favorite book was her prayer book. Prayer gave her peace of mind. She thought the best time to pray was in the morning, but she prayed all the time. The thing she cherished most in this life was her family. She prayed for our safety, health and happiness. She is our "prayer warrior" and loves us still. Just like she signed her portrait for my dad, Love forever, Lucy. She is survived by her two daughters, Gayle C. Hayter and her husband Robert and Sharon C. Beverly and her husband Kenneth; granddaughters, Janna M. Beverly, Judith Beverly and Jamie B. Ledford; grandsons, William M. Hayter and Jackson R. Hayter and great-grandson, Jackson K. Beverly. The family will receive friends on Tuesday evening at Cypress-Fairbanks Funeral Home in Houston from 6 o'clock in the evening until 8 o'clock. A Rosary in Lucy's honor will be recited at 7 o'clock the same evening. A Mass of Christian Burial will be on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at St. Jerome Catholic Church in Houston. Interment will follow at Forest Park Westheimer Cemetery in Houston.
