She was raised in Laclede County, and attended Garner School. After she and Noel were married, they made their home in the Lebanon area, and lovingly raised their children. Lucille was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family, and also worked as a seamstress beginning with the Rice Stix Factory and then continuing with the H. D. Lee Company. Her career in clothing manufacturing spanned a number of years before she retired.
Lucille had professed her belief in Christ and followed the Baptist faith throughout her life. She had a love for gospel music and enjoyed listening to her favorite recording artists.
She enjoyed quilting, crocheting, and doing embroidery projects. She liked working in her garden and growing beautiful flowers. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.
Lucille was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her long life and know that her family will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her lifetime.
