I have so many fond memories of Lucille. She helped to teach so many 4-H members how to sew and cook plus so much more. She also introduced me to Caster Beauty academy where I trained to become a Cosmetologist. The community has lost a great person.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. I will surely miss the presence of a truly loveable and kind person.
Lucille was a very special person to me all my life. I learned so many things from her and she always had time to listen to what I had to say. Even as an adult I received kind words and good advice from Lucille.
She will always have a specialplace inmy heart.
