She is also part French and Spanish on her “Babee” line, which is common for people with ancestors in Louisiana

Yes, Doris Pearl Bryant, from both parents, had Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Mexican ancestry, as well as English.
However, she wasn’t Lucy’s great-grandmother. Someone linked Doris Pearl Bryant as Oliver Preston Hale’s wife on ancestry.com, but it’s wrong. His real wife was a Doris Francis Bryant of Tennessee, who was the daughter of John Bryant and Daisy.
I guess there are mistakes of this kind in other genealogies
