Lucille Anna Arneson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lucille, a beloved sister, mother, and grandmother. Lucille departed this world on February 1st, leaving behind the memory of that twinkle she held in her eyes. Life was full of trials and tribulations throughout her life, but she never gave up and always persevered. “ Success is falling nine times and getting up ten”- Jon Bon Jovi . She was silently resilient “Courage doesn’t always roar” Mary Anne Em Radmacher

Lucille loved to write. She kept journals that she diligently wrote in everyday for most of her life. She was a devout Lutheran till her last day. She dearly loved her sweet cat Nova who desperately misses her hooman.

She is survived by her son Eric, aged 57, grandson Alec, daughter Heidi, aged 56, and granddaughter Arielle of whom she felt overwhelming pride for. Lucille's spirit will forever be felt in the hearts of her family.

Lucille is also survived by her three brothers: Russell, Norman, and Wayne; and her 3 sisters: Barb, Wanda, and Marlys and eighteen nieces and nephews. Lucille was proceeded by her sister Jerilyn, mother Bertha Lenore and father George Roth.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Michael Watson who cared for Lucille with kindness and compassion and to the wonderful Providence Hospice Care Team who helped her find peace and comfort.

“Death must be so beautiful, to lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above ones head and listen to silence. To have no yesterday and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life and to be at peace.” – Oscar Wilde
