Dorothy Lucille Simmons Noegel, known affectionally as “Mama LuLu,” turns 95 years young on Dec. 24th and we had a little party at C-Quarters Marina in Carrabelle. This was not the first gathering for Mama LuLu as her 85th, 90th and now 95th were hosted at C-Quarters by her daughter, Amy, and son-in-law, Russell Cohoon. Mama LuLu served the citizens of Florida with the Road Department (DOT) and then the Public Service Commission. She was born in Monticello and resides in Oclockonee Bay. (Photo special to The Sun)
