Lucille was always willing to help others and do almost anything for other people. She made so many friends in her lifetime and brought joy to so many people's lives. The nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews were always excited when their parents would get her to babysit. She was always so much fun to be around because she would always play games with the kids. No matter what age she was, she was always young at heart.

Lucille never had any children of her own, but you would never know that from all the young people's events. She was faithful in her attendance to her nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews; in sporting events, Christmas and music programs, band concerts, graduations, and anything else the kids were involved in.

Lucille enjoyed taking vacations with her family. Family was always willing to take her anywhere, because she was so much fun to be around and everyone just loved her.
