Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Lucille was a good neighbor and a good postmistress when I lived across the street from her back in 1986 in North Washington. I have such good memories of her kindness and friendship. My sympathies to her family.

  2. I worked with Lucy at Trimark. Many memories of Lucy and Winnie working together on the old 55 table. On Fridays Lucy would come to work with her hair all done up in curlers. When she would get off work she would have her fixed for her Friday night adventures. Lots of memories. Rest in peace Lucy!

  3. My sympathy to each of you. I have been thinking of trying to see her – even for a few minutes – on my trip to NH in 2 weeks, but….. I will be in touch. Nice memories of your Mother which I will share. Love, Joan

  4. Deepest sympathies and prayers are with the family. I always enjoyed conversation, and the inspiration provided by Aunt Lucille.
    God Bless,
    Kevin & Linda Roths Family

  5. When I was little I would wait on my front porch until she would start playing the organ and then I would run over and sit on her steps to listen! I loved when she played.

  6. Carol & Families, you have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

  7. We’re sorry we are not able to be there at this time. We’ve been visiting our daughter in Montana. Our family is thinking of all of you and sending you are condolences.

  8. Carol and Ray, and all of Lucille’s Family,
    So sorry we weren’t able to attend Lucille’s wake or funeral. Our thought and prayers are with you all always! May your wonderful memories of her bring you peace and comfort. I will always remember Lucille with a smile. She was definitely a “one of a kind” lady! (With quite a bit of feisty added in–she will be missed!)
