Lucy Dale Weekly

April 28, 1937 - November 26, 2020

Mrs. Lucy “Dale” Weekly Lucy D. Weekly, 83, of Apple Valley, Ca. died at St Mary’s Hospital on November 26, 2020. Lucy was born in Memphis, Tenn. to Everett and Winnie Nixon on April 28, 1937. She attended school in Memphis and later worked for Sears. She attended Bellevue and Ridgeway Baptist Church with her mother and daughter Jeri. In 1959, she went on a blind date and little did she know that she was meeting her future husband. After a five week romance, she married her beloved Marine Byron J. Weekly. The Marine Corp transferred them to North Carolina and then finally California where they spent the last 58 years. Together they had another daughter Tracey. They settled in El Toro where they bought their first home. She worked on the military base running a grocery store and then when they moved to Big Bear City, she settled in and worked in a Montgomery Wards catalog store. They retired and finally settled in Apple Valley, CA. Dale loved the Lord and served her church. She volunteered in the Church of the Valley Presbyterian in Apple Valley until her health would not allow it. She made wonderful friends and had many causes she loved to support in the church. She helped with the annual rummage sale which helped raise money for many of the groups supported in her church. She loved to paint, sew, make crafts, read and watch Jeopardy nightly. (Don’t ever call during Jeopardy she would say) She loved playing Bingo and taking monthly trips with her beloved husband to Laughlin. She had a flare for the “bling” in everything she wore, created or bought for others. She loved her family more than anything. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Byron J. Weekly; her daughters, Jeri Lynn, (preceded her in death); Tracey Loenhorst and her favorite son in law Bob Loenhorst; her brother Nick Nixon (Debbie) and family (TN); her grandchildren, Bill Loenhorst (Spring Loenhorst) and four great-grandchildren; Scott Loenhorst (Kennedy); Tyler Loenhorst; and Kelsey Loenhorst. We love you more Gramma! Byron wanted to share this poem; “Though you’ve gone first, and I remain One thing I’d have you do: Walk slowly down that long, lone path, For soon I’ll follow you. I’ll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road You’ll hear me call your name.” Albert Rowswell Sunset Hills Mortuary of Apple Valley is handling the arrangements. We will celebrate her life in April when it is safe to gather in his name-until that time we ask that donations to her favorite ministry be made in lieu of flowers.
