Lucille lived in Nebraska her entire life, including the family farm near Giltner, NE. She graduated from Phillips High School and attended Teacher’s College in Kearney, NE. She taught at Stolley Park School, Grand Island and the country school at Phillips before getting married and raising her family. She spent her entire life serving others, including volunteering at church and providing home health services to the elderly. In recent years she lived at Legacy Terrace, Lincoln, NE and we are forever grateful for the loving care she received there as well as from the staff of HoriSun Hospice Care.

Areas of enjoyment for Lucille included travel to the Sandhills of NE and Branson, MO. She also enjoyed quilting, her large collection of angels, loom-knitting hats for others, word find puzzles and many types of crafts. She and a friend recently entertained the Legacy residents in the dining room with a recitation of nursery rhymes which drew the attention of staff and the Director of Nursing.
