She never missed her favorite television shows even the reruns; Murder She Wrote, Matlock, and Little House on the Prairie. She loved animals and enjoyed watching the birds outside her window, as well as the many canine visits she received in the nursing home. Mrs. Lightsey was preceded in death by her husband, James W.
