Lucia E. Hume

Lucia was born in Cebu, Philippines on March 4, 1944 to the late Eugenio and Potenciana Elorde. She worked on the family farm before moving to Manila. Lucia met her future husband, Robert, while he was stationed in the Philippines and they were married for 50 years.

She was predeceased by her husband, Robert S. Hume, Jr; and survived by sons, William Elorde, Wesley Elorde, Kenneth Hume, Sr. and daughter, Alice Hume; 9 grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren.

Lucia cherished her family, enjoyed caring for her home and had a passion for helping others. While in San Diego she surrounded herself with laughter and happiness by babysitting for her friends. In Honolulu, HI, she worked as a bagger at the commissary, bringing smiles to the faces of anyone she met. After moving to Grant, FL, she continued to help others by cleaning houses. She loved listening to Elvis and Christmas Music and was an excellent cook. Her lumpia was always a favorite at gatherings.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Life Service that will be held on Saturday, September 23, at Calvary Baptist Church, 5640 Old Dixie Hwy, Grant-Valkaria, FL, beginning at 3:00 p.m.

Peace at Last

Loud does the wind howl

Long is the sky's roar

Deep is the cry of the kin

As she soars where the living do not tread

Legacy long as history

Lessons outnumbering the sands

Laughs thast echoed beyond the void

Lo, hearith now as we bid farewell

To the most loved of the family

To a great mother and grandmother

To the great matriarch of our family

Her time here was long but felt so short

You miss not the frost till summers glares upon you

Our tears at her parting will collect in oceans

So dearly was she loved

No more shall we hear oh boy

And we are worse for its loss

No more shall we worry

For she knows peace
