September 26, 2024
CLERMONT, FL - Laquita (Lucy) Halvorsen, 93, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 26, 2024.
Lucy graduated from Elizabethton High School. She pursued her passion for helping others by attending nursing school in Memphis, Tennessee, earning her degree as a Registered Nurse (RN). Lucy dedicated her career to caring for others, retiring from the Johnson City Medical Center's delivery room. Upon retirement, she continued her work with Shoals, Cone and Dunkelburger & Rowe OB-GYN in Johnson City. A woman of deep Christian faith, she faithfully attended church throughout her life. Lucy was known for her lively spark, enjoying life to the fullest and marveling at God's design in all things.
Lucy was preceded in death by her parents, Ira Jackson Sutherland and Georgia Counts Sutherland, and her beloved husband of 60 years, Otto Kristian Halvorsen.
She is survived by her sister, Crystal Curde Greer, her sons, Mark Halvorsen and wife Angela Halvorsen, and her son Gordon Halvorsen; her grandchildren, Grandson Matthew Halvorsen and his wife Anastasia Halvorsen, Granddaughter Alex Halvorsen Gonzales and her husband Rei Lozaro Gonzales; and her nephew, Randy Curde.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the Lakes of Clermont Rehabilitation Center and Encompass Health and Rehabilitation Hospital in Clermont, FL, for their compassionate care.
A private family service was held in her honor.

CRYSTAL AND THE BOYS!!
So very sorry to hear that Lucy has passed on-was also unaware that Kris had passed also in the years since my retirement from the Practice-and my move to North Myrtle Beach some 35 years ago. Crystal-remember me? Introduced you to your hubby-yes?? Kris had done work at our home during those days and we all became great friends.have a few pix of the boys as they grew up when Lucy would send to me usually with a Christmas card.
Again, My regrets go out to all of you guys-wish you all the best left in your lives.

Mark, I first met your mother in 1974-- she was always so kind to me and always invited me over to your home before basket ball games. Nothing can replace a wonderful mother who has gone to heaven. Mark and Deone Mears
