Beloved wife of the late Edward L. Ware Sr.; loving mother of Edward “Ed” (Sharon) Ware, Diana M. (Michael) Kelley and the late Richard (surviving Dottie) Ware; adoring grandmother of Ricky (Kathleen) Ware, Jason Ware, Anna (Sean) Keirns and Matthew (Lauren) Kelley; cherished great-grandmother of Grant, Gavin, Logan, James, Peter, Theo and Ollie. Our dearest aunt, great-aunt and friend to many.
Mom was born in 1931 and grew up in North St Louis during the Depression. She was the third of six children born to Ancil and Pearl Lindsay. She shared stories of what we would imagine as hard times without all our modern day conveniences, but she didn’t call them hard, she
called them happy. Those early days undoubtedly shaped her love and value of family. She was raised on hard work, responsibility and faith. She married our dad in 1951. Together, they raised the three of us in the same north side neighborhood that she grew up in along with her
brothers and sisters and their families. She always said living on Blair Ave was some of the happiest days of her life, and I think it was because she was surrounded by everyone she loved. She had a beautiful smile and a wit that could catch you off guard if you didn’t pay attention. She loved my brothers and I, and always made sure we had everything we needed.
When dad passed away in 1985, she returned to work and devoted any spare time she had to her grandkids; they held a special place in her heart. Mom loved to read, eat ice cream, or just sit and chat with family and friends. At age 94 with the loss of some her memory, she still
remembered those she loved. She still attended church by listening online, and she loved Pastor Kenny. She will be missed by so many. We are comforted knowing she is at peace in the arms of her trusted savior and we will see her again.
Visitation at Kutis Affton Chapel 10151 Gravois Rd. 63123 on Tuesday, March 18 from 12 noon until Funeral Service time at 1:00 pm. Interment at St. Matthew Cemetery.

I’m so sorry my mom and dad was friends with Dottie and my brother and me was friends with Ricky when we lived in the City so many good times we had sometimes I wonder what’s the point we live to die well I guess I’ll never know until I get to Heaven and ask GOD HIMSELF my condolences to all the family
My Aunt Lou, my mother’s sister, was a truly remarkable woman, known for her loving and generous nature. I’m sure my mother was eagerly anticipating celebrating her birthday with you. I understand you are now reunited with family. I cherish the wonderful memories of our time together growing up; those were truly special years. You always had that special smile. Diana ,Ed, and family. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers at this time of grief.

To Eddie and Sharon, Diana and Michael, Ricky and Dottie; thank you for sharing your dear mother with me. I believe my aunt Lucille’s life exemplified the gift of making a difference and capturing moments. Her selfless drive to give to others and love of people was her way of worshiping her God. Goodbye is not forever, goodbye is not the end-it simply means I will miss you until we meet again in heaven. Love and prayers.
