Life-Lucille Bolf was born July 28, 1918 in Floresville, Texas. Her parents, Frank and Ellie Neubauer Bolf and maternal grandparents, Paul and Ulrika Beck Neubauer were German and Czech settlers in Wilson County. She was baptized and confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Floresville and educated at Floresville High, The University of Texas, and Worden School of Social Work at Our Lady of the Lake University. She married Capt. Joseph A. Hegar of Temple in 1945 and had one daughter, Rebecca. Joseph retired from the U.S. Army in 1968 after the family spent tours of duty in Georgia, Japan, New Jersey, Virginia, Germany, and San Antonio, where the couple lived from 1965 to 2006.
Lucille spent much of her life serving the communities of Central and South Texas in roles including: teacher, school lunch supervisor, rural recreation organizer, Girl Scout professional, child welfare social worker, and Red Cross staffer and volunteer. She worked for the Red Cross in the San Francisco earthquake of 1989, a major Puerto Rican hurricane, and many Texas hurricanes. She served several years on the Board of Directors of Lutheran Social Services of the South, as well as holding congregational church offices.
Lucille also was known for her bread, jams, quilts, parties, hospitality, laughter, and travels. She was a member of Advent Lutheran Church in Arlington (2006-2013), Sheppard King Lutheran in San Antonio (1964-2006), the SPJST, and UT Texas Exes.
