LUCILLE BISCHOF Obituary

Lucille Bischof, 92, of Chicago passed away of natural causes at The Methodist Home of Chicago, on June 9. She was the daughter of John and Johana Lenzinger, the first of three siblings. In 1939, she met and married Hans Bischof, and to this union John and Ellen were born. She worked in finance and billing for Sears and Peerless Embroidery. She was a graceful, loving, and caring person, always with a smile for everyone she met. She loved to read, knit, travel, and garden. Being active in book clubs was one of her special pleasures. She is survived by her son, John; daughter Ellen (Neil) Texeira; two grandchildren, Andrew and Christy; and two great-granddaughters. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Info 773-561-6874.

I won´t forget my first (and only) thanksgiving day at your home. It was a long time ago but so intensive that I´ll remember for the rest of my life. God bless you Lucille.

I'm saddened to learn Mrs. B, has passed on. I admired her; she was funny, feisty and full of life. My heart and thoughts are with you and your family, John.

When I think of your mom the following line from a poem seems appropriate:

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she lived!

She was a wonderful woman; I'm honored to have known her.

I will always remember you with a smile. For all the fun times we had together, for all the new restaurants we tried, for all the "driving around", for all the shows we went to, and all the books we commented together... but mostly for your generosity and love. Thanks for being my third grandmother. I love you and I will miss you dearly. Chicago won't be the same without you.

To the family of Lucille Ann Bischof. I am very sorry for your loss. Very soon our Creator will bring death to nothing. Until then, "He is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots." Psalms 147:3 He is a God of tender mercies and he is there for you.
