Lucy Mull Barger, 97, of Morganton, NC, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, April 14, 2024.

Born in Burke County, NC on January 10, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Carl Edward Mull and Lola Deal Mull. Lucy was a member of Trinity Baptist Church where she taught Sunday school. She was a prayer warrior, continuing to pray for her pastor, church, and family whenever she was unable to do more. She lived a life of service, both to her family and the community, and she spent 40 years volunteering at Autumn Care. To know Lucy was to love her.

She is survived by her daughters, Sandra Walker and Kathy Crowe (Boyce); grandchildren, Melita Whisnant, Shelly Hunt (Josh), Kelly Crowe (Kelly), and Kristina Barger; eight great-grandchildren; three step-great-grandchildren; one step-great-great-grandchild; a sister, Rebecca Mull; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Lucy was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Barger; son, Ronnie Barger; granddaughter, Angela Crowe Lassister; and siblings, Beatrice Hensley, Alvin Mull, Howard S. Mull, and Rawlin Mull.

The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at Trinity Baptist Church. The funeral will be held at 2 p.m. in the church with Pastor Tim Hodge and Rev. Daniel Moneyham officiating. Burial will follow in Burke Memorial Park.

I loved Mrs. Barger. She was one of my best customers on my mail route. I always looked forward to our talks and hearing that she loved me before I drove off. If she couldn“t speak with me then she was always waving hello to me. I love you too Mrs. Barger! Prayers for this precious family!

Lucy was such a blessing to the residents and the employees of Autumn Care. She never met a stranger. My prayers go out to her family. If you knew her you knew she was a Christian.
