Sometime between 1940 and 1946 she married William M "Bill" Sisson (1902-1989), who had a son "Billy" from a previous marriage.  Bill Sisson was born in California, and it's likely that this is also where they marriedBy 1947 they are living in [[Humboldt County, California]], where Lucy's next three children were born, from 1947 to 1952.

Lucy became unable to earn enough money for her and four children to survive in rural Arkansas in the early 40's.  Her sister, Elizabeth, was already living in Los Angeles.  She may have felt that there was no future for her in Arkansas, so she just packed up a few of her belongings and the children and took the train to California.  They always said on the train from St. Louis to California, World War II ended.  Lucy ended up in Yountville, California working at a veterans hospital.  She met William "Bill" Sisson (1902-1989) there (he was a patient in the hospital) and they married 21 Jul 1946 in Napa, California.

Bill Sisson was born in California, but his family moved to Guemes Island in Puget Sound, Washington State while he was young.  Bill came back to California, where he enlisted and was in San Diego in the 1930 census.  He married in Dec 1931 at Colton to Lydia Maria Hoffman of Riverside, and they had a son William "Billy" Sisson, born 1937 at Coulee Dam, Washington.  Bill and Lydia divorced on 5 Jul 1942, place unknown.

Bill and Lucy moved around a bit at first as Bill worked with a building company building housing in  Napa, Dunsmuir, etcAfter about seven months of wandering they had to pick a spot and settle.  They ended up in Eureka, [[Humboldt County, California]] because Bill was able to work there.  They built the house at 1604 A Street.  In Eureka, or at least in Humboldt County is where Lucy's next three children were born, from 1947 to 1952:

#Clinton

#Charles

#Roselynn "Joy"

Bill ended up being allergic to redwood dust (not a good thing when you work in the building industry in northern California) and after many illnesses relating to that, the family moved back to the (Snohomish-Cathcart) area of Washington State in l953.  Tawana,  Billie and Sonny went to Eureka Schools.  Billie graduated from high school in 1955 and Tawana in 1956 (Burlington-Edison High School, Burlington, Wasington) so they were probably in high school in Eureka in 1952 and 1953.
  
 
After a short stint at Burlington, [[Skagit County, Washington]] in 1954, they moved by 1955 to Cathcart, [[Snohomish County, Washington]] for a few years and then to Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington where they lived from at least 1970 until Bill died in 1989.
