PUTNAM, LUCILLE DAY
Memorial services for Mrs. Lucille Day "Lucy" Putnam, 86, will be at Comer 
Funeral Home, Ferriday, Thursday, Aug. 25, at 1 p.m., with Clyde Ray Webber 
officiating. Friends may call for a gathering at noon until time of 
service. Mrs. Putnam was born Nov. 8, 1924, to the union of George A. and 
Winnie Day, in Dardenell, Ark., and passed away peacefully Monday, Aug. 22,
2011, in Baton Rouge. She married James D. Putnam on Christmas Eve in 1948 
and remained married until his death in 1985. Lucy lived in Ferriday and 
Hammond and eventually moved to Baton Rouge where she had lived for the 
past 32 years. She worked as a bank teller at Delta Bank, Ferriday, for 11 
years before moving to Hammond. Her life was devoted to her family. She was 
a very generous person who was an excellent cook and kept an immaculate 
home. She loved to work in her yard, play pokeno with her friends and 
walked and rode her bike until she was 75! She was preceded in death by her 
husband of 37 years, James D. Putnam; parents; and brothers, John Day and 
Jack Day. She is survived by two sons, Phillip, his wife, Diane Putnam, and 
their daughter, Lindsay Klein, and Brett, his wife, Brandi Putnam, and 
their son, Blaise Putnam, whom Lucy referred to as "her baby." The family
would like to thank the wonderful staff at St. Joseph's Hospice and Old 
Jefferson Community Care for the excellent care and compassion received 
while she was a patient of both. Online guest book at www.comerfh.com.
