Lucille (Barley) Head Obituary

Mrs. Lucille (Barley) Head


Age 86 of Williamsburg, Kentucky went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, July 01, 2025, at Williamsburg Health & Rehab, her home for the past 11 years.  She was born November 11, 1938, in Fonde, Kentucky to Marion & Lottie (Lawson) Barley.  She was a loving and giving mother and grandmother until her death. 


Lucille served as President of the Resident's council for 6 years, advocating for the needs and desires of the residents while encouraging them to participate in the many activities offered by the nursing home.  Such as bingo, sewing, cooking and canning.  Residents have informed the family that they began participating in activities due to her encouragement.  When her health declined so much that she could no longer participate, the residents honored her by naming her vice president of Resident Council.  The family is grateful for the loving care provided to her by the Nursing Home staff through her last years.


Lucille served as pianist and singer for many churches, revivals and funerals.  She also worked tirelessly fundraising for churches, preparing meals and baked goods for sale to benefit the church.  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking and loved serving fer family and friends, never turning away anyone who was hungry.  She worked as a cook at the Wheel in TruckStop in Jellico, and as a caregiver for her friend, Mabel McCombs.
