Lucille Uribe Vargas Meyer of Laguna Woods, California, died at age 101 on January 15, 2025. Lucia Uribe was born in Montebello, California on December 13th, 1923 and was the second of eight children born to Erminio and Apolinar Uribe. She was married to her childhood sweetheart, Alex Vargas, in 1943, with whom  she shared three children: Patricia, Charles and Dennis. Lucy was no stranger to heartbreak; she endured the loss of Alex, her three children, grandson Alex Hardeman, and four siblings in her lifetime. With the help of her strong faith and self-determination, she survived these hardships and continued to live life her way. As she moved into the next chapter of her life, she met and married Henry Meyer in 1991. Henry and Lucy shared their love for music, card games, their country, and family until his death in 2012.

Her happiest days were spent in Laguna Woods with Henry, reading in her recliner chair and volunteering at her beloved library. She maintained a generous heart until the end, dedicating her time to helping family and the Laguna Woods community. She leaves behind her sisters, stepsons, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and dear friends who will long remember her for her strength, work ethic, and bravery. Services will be held on Saturday, January 25th at La Purisima Catholic Church. Burial will take place at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery.
