She lived a full, and sometimes tragic but in the end an inspiring life.

[No name given]

Rest In Peace, Lulu.

[Ciaphas Cain]

I think of all the cast of Hee Haw the only surviving cast are Gaylord Sartain and Kathy Baker. Maybe some of “the honeys” but that’s it.

Thanks for the memories Lulu, Rest in peace.............

[ConservativeMind]

I am impressed she was still with us.

I hope her soul is with God.

[Delta 21]

Wow! Its amazing how old you folks are getting.

Rest in Peace, Lulu

[Ciaphas Cain]

She had been a junkie before she turned her life over to Christ. After that she became a gospel singer.

I harbor no doubt that she's gone to that better place.

RIP. Hee Haw was peak nuclear family. I’ll always remember the Saturday nights I watched that show with my mom and dad and siblings.

[Huskrrrr]

She was a hoot. RIP

An inspiring story

[Ciaphas Cain]

To this day 7 pm on Saturday nights makes me think that it’s time for Hee Haw. Not kidding.

[Magic Fingers]

I had a trio that backed the Hagar Twins at rodeo halftime performances. They were nice guys with interesting stories about shooting the show, and mightily impressed with the talent of the other cast members.

I saw a recent picture of her awhile back and she had lost so much weight that she was less than 1/2 the woman she used to be.

She did good.

Saturday nights at our house were filled with Hee Haw and the Lawrence Welk Show, it doesn’t get anymore nuclear family than that

[Cowgirl of Justice]

We did too!! And Lawrence Welk! On Thursdays, it was The Waltons and on Sunday, it was Wild Kingdom and then Disney, then bedtime afterwards.

Love Boat, Fantasy Island and the ABC Movie of the Week on Saturday nights. If I could stay awake long enough, my sister and I would watch Kolchak, Night Stalker and scream in terror, waking our parents up.

My mom would get us a frozen pizza, Jiffy Pop, a box of brownie mix and a 2 liter soda of our choice and let us have at it.

We thought we were rich although we were really poor. Looking back, I see that we had all the riches in the world.

[Ciaphas Cain]

And Lawrence Welk!

Wunnerful wunnerful wunnerful! :-)

I remember those Saturday nights with the good of Hee Haw then the torture of the Lawrence Welk show.

[wally_bert]

Same here for the most part.

[wally_bert]

I had a couple of very long days at the expense of the 4 not so wunnerful women.

Long ago field production.
