Lucile J. Sexton

Lucile Josette Sexton, 84, of Henrico, Va, went to be with the Lord on January 22, 2021. She was born in Champange’-Les-Marais, France on June 20, 1936, to parents Fedinand and Marie Louise Lambert. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Sexton; her sister, Elaine Charneau and brother-in-law, Jean. She is survived by her son, Eric Sexton and wife Diane; her stepdaughter, Teresa Lycoudes and husband, George; her brother, Michele Lambert and sister-in-law, Jeanine; and her grandchildren, Hannah, Christopher, Madison Sexton, and Robert Lycoudes; and numerous nieces and nephews in France. Lucile’s husband was in the military and they spent many years traveling between Europe and the US. When her husband passed away, she worked as a nanny and then a sales associate at Big Lots, Inc. in Oak Hill, West Virginia. She later moved to Richmond, Va. to care for her grandchildren. She was a loving and caring mother and grandmother. Being with her family is what she enjoyed the most. Reading, cooking, knitting, and crocheting were many of the hobbies that she enjoyed. She loved to take care of her yard and flowers and she also enjoyed taking long walks in her neighborhood. Lucile’s family is grateful for the love and care provided by the staff & caregivers at the Harmony Collection at Hanover, where she lived for the past year and was affectionately known as “Lu”.
