Lucille’s parents instilled in her the values of faith, kindness, love of God and love of family, which she carried with her throughout her life. God granted Lucille a tremendous ability to work with children. She nurtured and taught generations of children for 31 and a half years as a teacher at Great Falls School and Fairview Heights Elementary. She was a lifelong follower of Christ and served her Lord in many capacities in the Pentecostal Holiness Church. At the time of her death, she was a member of First Pentecostal Holiness Church of Rockingham where she poured her heart out in service to the Lord.
Lucille loved her family more than anything. Lucille was a loving wife, a dedicated mother, an extraordinary grandmother, and a beloved great-grandmother.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Scotia Village and Morrison Manor Scotland Regional Hospice for the excellent care Lucille received.
