Lucille ‘s strong faith led her to serving others with a great devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary. She volunteered for many Catholic-based charities with a compassionate heart for helping others in need. She cherished her time at St. Vincent de Paul (Catholic Charities) in Abilene, Texas.

With God as the center of her life, she embraced being a mother with a loving heart and a strong faith. She remained devoted to the raising of her family. Over her long life, she remained passionate and devoted to her family, extended relatives, and friends both old and new.
