LucIlle. and I go back a long way. I ran around with her son Steve about 40 years ago. She was always patient with us two renegades. Steve and I share the same birthday, June 14th and Lucille and I shared the same birthplace, Oakland, Ca. Always kind to me. Ran into her from time to time. God bless you Lucille.

Lucille was one of our neighbors when we lived on Idaho Street. We enjoyed visiting with her and calling her our friend. I’m sorry to hear of her passing.

You are loved and missed Aunt Lou! Such a good babysitter and friend. I pray you are finally at peace. Toughest lady I have known. God bless until we meet again.

Lucille was like a second mom to me after my mom (and Lucille’s good friend), Corkey Gunderson, passed away at way too young of an age (62). I will miss Lucille’s spry sense of humor, ability to have a good time, and her kindness.
Lisa Parker says
The best neighbor anyone could ask for. I loved all my visits with Lucille. One special lady who I have missed everyday since I moved away from Helena. Sending Lucille’s family my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
