She was a person who enjoyed a wide variety of interests, especially those involving nature. Lucille was a knowledgeable bird watcher, adept in tree and wild flower identification and enjoyed the camaraderie of outdoor camping, traveling in her RV to varied sites in Indiana, Kentucky and the mountains of Tennessee. In the 1960’s she was employed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to serve for three consecutive years during the summer months as Interpretive Naturalist at Indiana Shades Park in Waveland, IN. The following years she served in the same capacity at McCormick’s Creek State Park in Spencer, IN. In 1974 she was hired to become the first Director of Wesselman Woods Nature Center in Evansville, until her retirement in 1986. In 2015 she was inducted into the Library of Congress for being the first female Naturalist. Lucille held memberships in numerous organizations and participated actively in many. She belonged to the National Interpretive Naturalist Association and attended their annual national workshops, Indiana Nature Conservancy where she served as Director Emeritus, Evansville Audubon Society, Evansville Garden Club, Evansville Hiking Club and Evansville Square Dancing Club. She loved her church and was one of the original members of Christ Church United Church of Christ. Through these associations, she shared many friendships.
Lucille is survived by her grandchildren, Amanda Eisner (Kevin), Chip Mulzer (Chris), Andrew Mulzer (Maria), Adam Mulzer (Lee Ann); nine great-grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren.
