Lucette Clementine Marie Biver Witty

1924 – 2021

A life marked by beauty, faith, and the joy of family, Lucette Clementine Marie Biver Witty was a woman whose quiet elegance never went unnoticed. Born in Elizabeth City, Virginia, Lucette was the daughter of French immigrants Clemens and Mary Biver, who instilled in her the values of resilience, dedication, and an unwavering love for her family.

Lucette’s life was a tapestry of love: she married her one true love, Thomas Edward Witty, on September 30, 1944, and together, they built a life full of faith, joy, and laughter. Whether coaching basketball at St. Vincent High School or tending to her beloved garden, Lucette was always surrounded by family. Her most incredible legacy was the warmth of her home and the strength of her love—values she passed down to her four children, 14 grandchildren, and 25 great-grandchildren.

A devoted member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church, Lucette shared her gifts with the community, singing in the church choir and volunteering her time to various causes. She was also known for her impeccable style, whether on the tennis court or in her lush backyard. Lucette’s Gold Life Master rank in bridge and her love for tennis, golf, and bowling were just a few of her many talents, but her unshakable faith and devotion to her family truly defined her.

Lucette passed away at 97, leaving a legacy that will live on through the generations she touched. Her life reminds us all that beauty and grace can be found in the simplest of moments—a lesson she lived each day.

Featuring: Viola Mildred Beyl (1914–2000)

Pull up a chair and settle in—this page begins with Viola Mildred Beyl, though you may know her simply as Mildred. Born in 1914 to a bakery family in Indiana, she grew up with flour in the air, laughter in the kitchen, and a head full of curls.

She went on to become a Buchanan, a mother, a homemaker, and the heart of every room she entered. Her life stretched across nearly a century of change—but no matter where she lived (and oh, did she move!), Mildred left a trail of kindness, food, and unforgettable stories.

This space is part of an ongoing tribute to the Beyl family line, starting with Mildred and branching outward to include the many names and generations connected to hers.
