Lucille was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  She was a baptized and confirmed member of the Trinity Lutheran Church.

Lucille enjoyed being involved in her church and community where she volunteered for many activities including making Baptismal banners, serving at various church dinners and teaching Sunday School and Weekday School.

The family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Trinity Lutheran Church, Norborne, American Legion and Auxiliary #551 or H.E.L.P. Services in Carrollton.
