His wife was written up in an article in The Southwest Times, Sept. 6, 2011 and it mentions Troy:
Centenarian Celebrates birthday by Jonathan Hooks
Imagine living through two world wars, a prohibition and it's repeal, a depression, a presidential assassination, two George Bush's, and the rise of cell phone's and other portable electronics.
Pulaski County resident Mayme Lundy has seen it all of these things come to pass in her hundred years.
Born in Carroll County on Sept. 6, 1911, Lundy was one of eight children being the oldest daughter out of five, but sibling to three older brothers.
While Lundy could not recall the exact year she and her husband moved to Pulaski County with their son, she has been a member of the Thornspring United Methodist Church for over 50 years, also working at Virginia Maid Hosiery for 18 years.
Lundy is still spry at 100, living with a caregiver in her home, and getting around by herself with only the aid of a walker. "I thank the Lord," she said, attributing her longevity to her faith in God. "His doing is why I'm still alive."
In the century her life has spanned, Lundy has been a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, outliving her only child, T.L., and husband Troy.
In the history of Human existence, never has it been more possible for a person to witness so many changes in technology, style, and the way generations define themselves occur before their very eyes in a single century.
During a quiet moment while discussing her daily diet, and jotting down the comments she had just finished sharing with me when with a matriarchal poise she raised her head, paused, and said, "Where does the time go?"
I can honestly say at that moment, for the first time, it sinks in people pay that phrase much more than lip service.
