Living Life with Eternity in View
Lucy Malmberg
Lucy Malmberg’s grand adventures in life began when her parents hid her in a blanket-covered box as they waited in line to board a plane to America from Ukraine after World War II. Her parents passed on to her a legacy of not only love for America but a passionate love for Jesus. In this conversation with Sharon Betters, Lucy freely shares how her faith guided her beloved husband George and her in the co-founding of Wedgewood Pharmacy, now, the largest national specialized pharmacy in veterinary compounding and a leader in the animal health industry. Lucy describes the legal battle that took them all the way to the Supreme Court. She also shares treasured wisdom taught by her parents that influences her to this day. Lucy’s intimacy with Jesus and passion for prayer is woven throughout this conversation, including her description of how she lamented before the Lord through four miscarriages and the loss of her stillborn son. Lucy’s love affair with her Savior will instill in listeners a longing for the same intimacy with Jesus.
