About this listen

Lucy Abernathy left an inspiring legacy as a high school teacher, characterized by her dedication, compassion, and unwavering support for generations of students. Working at Chaparrel High School in El Cajon, she became a vital positive adult role model and a source of hope for students whose own families had often given up on them. Facing life's challenges, Lucy maintained a commitment to presenting a model of behavior and utilized transformative training principles from Recovery International to navigate life's difficulties. She beautifully demonstrated that if one's family disappoints, one can choose and adopt a new family, embracing her role as a cherished "big sister" to the Flanagan family. Listen to Lucy’s powerful oral history to absorb her warmth and wisdom, and consider how you, too, can revitalize the memory of a loved one by sharing their story.
