Lucy Dee Wright – On this date in 1911

On this date the 28th of April in 1911, our maternal grandmother, Lucy Dee Wright was born in Manifest, Louisiana to John E. Wright and Grace Claudia Pierce. She was the sixth of 9 children.*

She married John Alvis LaPrarie and they had 3 children, John Louis LaPrarie, James Alvis LaPrarie, and our mom Nelda Grace LaPrarie Adams.

AKA: Granny, Dee, Mama Dee, and Miss Dee.

There is so much I can share about our dear granny, she is the inspiration for this entire website. She still to this day glows with a smile and a kind word.

Her collection of poems,  I Come to the Garden,  is available on Amazon.
