Lucille was known for her adventurous spirit, warm heart, and vibrant personality. She brought joy and light to everyone she met and made a lasting impact on those lucky enough to know her.
A master puzzle solver and avid bingo player, Lucille's quick wit and determination made her a winner in every game she played. She was also a gifted baker, delighting family and friends with her famous chocolate refrigerator cookies, sugar cookies, and the incomparable angel food cake with confectioners' frosting.
Lucille loved to try new things, especially when it came to food, and she had an adventurous streak that extended beyond the kitchen. Whether it was sharing laughs with friends or lending a hand to those in need, she was always ready to help. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by her loved ones, especially watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up, cheering them on at their sports events and milestones.
Lucille cherished her time with family, whether it was shopping trips to Target for necessities with Bridgett or routine Ice Cream date nights with her sister-in-law Shirley and niece Janet. She also loved dining out at her favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, where she'd gather with family and friends to make more memories. Lucille adored her church family as she was a longtime member of the Grace United Methodist Church in Maple Park where she found peace and strength in the community she loved.
