Lucille was extremely bright and vivacious. She served as President of the Parents Without Partners Organization and was a member of the Soroptimist Club. She loved to square dance and did beautiful crochet and knitting projects which family members treasure.

Following her marriage to Jim Hillin, Lucille retired which gave her the opportunity to travel with Jim as he continued his work in sales. She especially loved their trips to Colorado as they were opportunities to enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit with friends they had made.

Lucille loved her family. She delighted in being Grandma Cille to grandchildren and great-grandchildren who all loved her dearly in return. In recent years Lucille resided at the Cambridge and enjoyed the fellowship with other residents.
