LEWISBURG - Lucille M. "Lucy" Mattern, 92, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, at RiverWoods, Lewisburg. Most recently of Mifflinburg, Lucy previously lived in McClure, Lewistown, Baltimore, Md., from 1957 to 1982 and Lewisburg from 1982 to 1993.
She was born June 18, 1917, in Bannerville, the daughter of the late John David and Annie Pearl (Peters) Lash. On June 21, 1941, in Winchester, Va., she married Andrew "Tim" Mattern, who preceded her in death on July 3, 1996.
Lucy was a 1934 graduate of McClure High School. She graduated in 1973 from Towson State University, Phi Theta Kappa, with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education Lucy also held a real estate license in Maryland.
Lucy and her husband owned and operated Tim's Restaurant in McClure from 1946 to 1951. Most of all, Lucy was a mother and homemaker.
Lucy was a lifelong and active member of Church of the Brethren, first in Bannerville, then Dundalk in Baltimore and most recently Buffalo Valley Church of the Brethren since 1982. She was a rather quiet witness except when given the opportunity to preach a sermon, which she did on a number of occasions. Lucy enjoyed playing the organ and piano. She also taught Sunday school, served as a deacon for many years and was active in the Women's Fellowship and the Golden Oldies. Her greatest desire and daily prayer request was that her family would all know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
She was a volunteer at Evangelical Community Hospital for several years.
Lucy enjoyed Bible reading and study, cooking and baking, quilting, sewing, crafts and especially her family.
She is survived by one son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Michael and Jane Mattern, of Wyoming, Del.; three daughters and two sons-in-law, Carole and Marlin Hoffmaster, of Mifflinburg, Bonnie Mattern, of Santa Monica, Calif., and Vicki and Jeff Bastian, of Mifflinburg; nine grandchildren, Elizabeth Graham, John Graham, Christopher Graham, Marcy Bird, Mark Graham, Jennifer Tennis, Michael B. Mattern, Amy Beth Bastian and Jonathan Bastian; and eight great-grandchildren.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by one half brother, Raymond Baker, and one daughter, Karen Sue, in infancy.
Friends and family will be received from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Buffalo Valley Church of the Brethren, where the funeral will be conducted at 11 with Rev. Randall C. Fiske officiating.
Burial will be in McClure Union Cemetery.
