Lucille Wade Speer

Lucille Wade Speer, 93, of Houston, passed away Friday, October 31, 2025 at home surrounded by her loving family.

Lucille was born November 2, 1931 to Zenus and Maggie Louise Wade. She had a true servant's heart. Her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren were her world. Late night sleepovers, fun filled activities (like yearly "Easter egg dying"), and a warm house full of love and grace were always found at her home. Lucille had a special heart for children and anything that involved them. Bible Schools were always the place her special 'chip and dip' recipe was always enjoyed by so many.
