Lucille was a member of St. Stephen Catholic Church in Lake City where she was very actively involved in every aspect of church activities.
She loved Christmas and for the last 10 years she was known as the “wreath lady”, as her time was spent making wreaths and working on a Christmas tree lot in Florida.
Life to Lucille was all about her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She thoroughly enjoyed every minute she could spend with them.
She always felt most at home in warmer climates; on the water or at the beach.
