Lee Factory in Seymour where she worked for 24 years. She then volunteered at the Community Christian 25¢ Store in Fordland for 13 years. In her spare time she enjoyed reading, country music, and garage sales. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and “little babes”. She helped raise her first granddaughter and considered her like another daughter. Lucille was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and will always cherish the many wonderful times we had together.
