Lucinda and I were childhood friends even though I lived in Irondequiot and she lived off a South Clinton. I was allowed to take a S. Clinton bus, get off at Meigs St. at an age where kids today would not have that freedom. There were times when I stayed overnight at Wetmore Park. Two memories to share. Going in her Father's car to a picnic in Ellison Park. The first time I had ever been there, and I thought I must be miles away out in the country. In my married years, I lived not far from the park.
This is another fond memory. We were probably 11 or 12. I had spent the night at her house. It must have been Easter weekend. Sat. morning we set out walking in search of the Easter egg hunt in Highland Park. Once there, nothing seemed to be going on, so we continued, all the way to Genesee Valley Park. Maybe it would be happening there. Again, no sign of people or eggs. But two little girls had a joyous walk together, still remembered fondly in my brain. Over the years, we met for lunch or she came to my house for lunch. She also went on a bus trip with me for lunch and a Elvis style singer entertained us. The last time we met, I brought my older sister, Ruth. I' think Lucinda and I were both using walkers. It was Panera near Marketplace mall. I also brought my granddaughter to see Irish dancing at Riverside Convention Center. The girls were close in age, perhaps 7 or 8.
Both our mothers were good friends. I remember Gloria. Lucinda came to all my birthday parties. We were just 2 months apart, she, April, and I, June She went to Highland School of Nursing. I spent the same 3 years at Strong Hospital's Nursing School. I married John Adamek who had known Richard Luchterhand from St. John's Lutheran Church on Joseph Ave. I went with a group to the Museum of Transportation and saw him running his trains.
My husband died at St. Johns Home, Jan. 2020. I've been at St. John's Meadows independent living since June 2019. I still use a walker and own a motorized scooter. Since Dec. 2024 I no longer drive. These more recent years I have always wondered how Lucinda was doing. I think we spoke by phone once when she was living with a daughter west of here.
I just, this past Friday lost my sister at almost 96, and only sibling to a 12 year Alzheimer's battle. I extend sympathy to all of Lucindas family at this sad time.
