Lucia Granillo LongfellowSeptember 7, 1932 - March 26,2021Huntington, WV.   Lucie joined her husband, Bobby Joe Longfellow, Sr. in heaven on March 26, 2021.  She was born in Cochise, Arizona on September 7, 1932 to Julio and Josefina (Vasquez) Campos. She loved recounting the love story of how she and Joe met; she was working at a soda shop in the local pharmacy and he was stationed with the Air Force in Arizona. It was a whirlwind romance and the couple married just before Joe transferred to Hawaii. She of course would soon follow and there they welcomed their oldest son, Bobby Joe Jr.  Upon leaving the Air Force, the newlyweds chose Huntington, the home of Joe's family, to raise their family, which quickly grew to include Michael Stuart, Charles Christopher, and Lisa Dianna.  Family was always the center of her affection. She treasured her memories of growing up in Arizona with her sister, Ramona, her mother and her much adored step-father, Ramon Granillo. It was her love of family and an early childhood encounter with the missionaries that led her to raise her children in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved being a homemaker and serving as a Sunday School teacher, working with the Young Women and as a Relief Society Counselor.  Throughout her life, she worked for Kerr Glass, Arthur Murray Dance Studio as a ballroom instructor, and acquired her LPN, which led to a career with CAMC Memorial Hospital in Charleston, working with heart surgeons.
