She and Alvin and his brother Armon farmed for 34 years in the Township of Seymour. Alvin preceded her in death suddenly in 1975.

Lucille was a member of St. John's United Church of Christ of Black Creek, the Women's Guild, and a member of Progressive Sisters Homemakers Club for many years. She enjoyed tour traveling, bingo at Good Shepherd, and many special times with her family and friends. Cooking along with growing flowers and cactus was a joy to her.
