Lucille Marguerite Malone

1928 - 2015

Malone, Lucille Marguerite,

87, of Louisville, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on July 19, 2015.

She was born on March 14, 1928 in Centerville, SD, and was brought up in the Catholic faith. Known as Lu, to family and friends, she attended the University of South Dakota, in Vermillion, where she met her husband of 65 years, Donald V. Malone.

Along with her husband and three children, Roxanne Oyler (Larry), Michelle Mattingly (Pat), Charles Malone (Dot), Lucille leaves eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren to cherish her memory.

Since 1968, Lu and Don have been well known in the National Appaloosa Horse Club through their years of activity as charter members and officers of the Ky Mid-State Appaloosa Horse Club. Lu served as secretary in the Ky Chapter for 25 years. She shared her business skills, before the age of computers, by proofing and typing college assignments for any family member in need. Her grandchildren were blessed by her daily presence with early child care, years of rescue with the spare house key, encouragement from her clippings on positive life lessons, and her famous chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Lu held her friends in her heart like family. As her illness progressed, Don accompanied her to monthly "lunch bunch" gatherings. The family extends their deepest thanks to her caregivers, especially Kay and Paula, and to all who supported the family in their own unique and special way.

A celebration of her life will be 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at Newcomer Funeral Home, 235 Juneau Drive, with visitation there from 3:30 p.m. until time of service.

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to The ALS Society.
