Mable Lucille Williams Demastus Landrum age 85, of Mooresville, TN, passed away Thursday, September 4, 2025, at Maury Regional Medical Center surrounded by family and loved ones.
Lucille was born November 18, 1939, to Houston Alexander and Mable Dee Williams. She was the oldest of nine siblings. She was raised in a modest home in Lewisburg where her parents ran a farm while Lucille lended a hand where she could but mostly helped to look after her siblings.
At the age of 15, she was married to Bill “Mousie” Demastus in May of 1954 and spent 44 wonderful years by his side until his unexpected passing in 1999. After years of mourning, Lucille found comfort and companionship with Jim Landrum, and the two were married in a very quiet ceremony in January of 2006. Lucille was proud of the life that she and Jim built and the
families they were welcomed into. Jim passed in 2017 from cancer with Lucille by his side.
Lucille is preceded in death by her parents as well as her late husbands, Bill “Mousie” Demastus and Jim Landrum. She is also preceded by several siblings, Billy Williams, Betty Adair, Buddy Williams, Evelyn Williams, Doug Williams, and Peggy Ann Williams.
She is survived by one daughter, June (Jimmy) Flowers of Mooresville; three granddaughters, Pamela (Chris) Jones, Christi (Bryan) Hill, and Brittany (Travis) Rye, all of Mooresville; 16 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren; one sister, Linda (Joe) Boyce of Wheel; one brother, Jerry (Vicki) Williams of Mooresville.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Children’s Ministry at Lewisburg First Assembly of God, 1191 W. Ellington Pkwy, Lewisburg, TN 37091, in her memory.
Lucille was an amazing woman. She never punched a time clock but she worked countless hours for others which included making fried peach pies for the Mooresville Fire Department. Lucille and Bill ran the Mooresville Market for a few years. She also did the bookkeeping for the Bill Demastus Junkyard. She kept busy taking care of her family and being involved in several different clubs and organizations including the Ladies Home Demonstration Club. One of the highlights of her week was Sunday dinner when she would open her house to whoever wanted a plate and fix dinner for the whole family. Lucille enjoyed taking care of people, and one of her favorite ways was to feed them. In the quiet time between large family gatherings, Lucille enjoyed arts and crafts such as coloring and cross stitch. She was quite the seamstress and even painted shirts and sweatshirts for the fire department to sell.
Momma to one, Grenny to some, Aunt Lucy to several, and Lucille to most–whatever you called her, she leaves behind a legacy that is larger than she will ever know. We watched her fight cancer twice, survive the loss of two husbands and countless heart break from other losses, yet she continued to laugh and make jokes. Her eyes were more telling than her mouth and many times it only took one look from her to correct the rowdiest child. She was loved and adored by all who knew her and not a day will go by that she will not be missed. But we all know that it is not goodbye because one thing that Grenny had in her heart was God, and we know this is simply “See you later alligator.” We love you most (Ha! We got to say it last) Your bunch!
