Lucille was self-employed as a domestic worker until her retirement at the age of 80. She was loved by everyone who came in contact with her. She loved going camping with her life partner of 50 years and extended family. She also loved gardening and feeding the hummingbirds as well as the animals that strayed into the backyard.

Lucille was known for her potato salad. In her lifetime, she made a lot of potato salad...Sunday dinners, church functions, birthday parties, family reunions, and holiday gatherings.
