In Remembrance "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 Mary Lucille Mugg Berry, 84, of Callaway, MD., entered into eternal rest on November 29, 2012 at her residence.

Lucille was born on February 3, 1928 in California, Maryland. She was one of three children born to the late James Shephard and Mary Agnes Kane Mugg. Lucille was educated in the St. Mary's County Public Schools.

On August 4, 1945, she married the late James Turner Berry and from that union they were blessed with eight children. Lucille began her employment in 1953 at the Navy Exchange laundry at NAS Patuxent River working a total of 32 years of dedicated service and retiring in 1985. After retirement, she went to work part-time at the Lexington Park Dry Cleaners where she stayed until 1989.

Lucille was a devoted Christian and was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church and Holy Face Church and recently joined First Missionary Baptist Church in Lexington Park, MD under the leadership of Pastor Roderick McClanahan. Lucille enjoyed life to the fullest and was a very stylish lady that loved everyone.

She enjoyed decorating, shopping, talking on the telephone, watching the Redskins, and family gathering where she showed off her cooking skills. Lucille had a lovely and contagious smile that showed where ever she went and you could always find her reading her daily devotions. Her famous saying was "All I want to do is get to heaven."
