Lucille Mae Mullenax, 89, of Cranberry Township passed away unexpectedly with her husband, Walter Edward “Eddie” Mullenax, Friday in the comfort of their home that Eddie built with his own hands.

Lucille entered into heaven with her beloved husband of 68 years, Walter Edward Mullenax, who she married Jan. 4, 1947.
