Lucille Matthews worked as a bartender at the Lakewood Landing for more than 30 years. And she wasn’t just a drink slinger. Matthews, who once worked for Jack Ruby, was the heart and soul of the place. Plus, she was a downright interesting person who loved Dallas and enjoyed researching the city’s history.
Matthews died 10 years ago, in September 2001, and the Landing is celebrating her with a memorial at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17. Matthews’s sister and brother, Dee and Roy, are flying in from California for the party, says organizer Cheryl Vorhis.
