Lucille (Hvizdos) Marsh, 91, of Latrobe, Unity Township, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, at Hempfield Manor. Born Aug. 22, 1934, in Whitney, she was the daughter of the late John S. and Mary C. (Barlock) Hvizdos. She was devoted, loving, and caring to her husband and soulmate, Richard "Dick," and to her children and grandchildren. Lucille was a member of St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church in Whitney. When she was a young girl, she worked at her beloved father's former confectionery store in Whitney, one of the three former businesses that he owned and operated. Lucille later worked as a secretary in the Order Department at Kennametal Inc. in Latrobe. A kind and generous person, she took pleasure in making a beautiful home for her husband and her two sons. She could often be found in her kitchen, cooking, canning, and baking. Lucille took great pleasure in her beautifully decorated cookies and pastries for her family, especially her delicious Gingerbread Man cookies at Christmas. Her house was always open to her sons' friends, who spent many days at her home. In her spare time, she liked to sit down and play the organ. Lucille also enjoyed being outdoors working in the vegetable garden with her husband and planting flowers in the summer.
