I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Lucille when I worked for United Way and she was a volunteer. She was so energetic and resourceful. Just a great person and I was so glad I had the opportunity to meet her. My condolences and prayers to her family.
Sincerely,

I am so sad to learn on Lucille's passing. She took me under her wing at Michigan National Bank in 1972 and provided invaluable advice as I continued my career. She was classy and driven, especially when it came to fundraising for the first Mammograpjy machine at St. Mary's Hospital (she was successful!). St Mary's was near and dear to her and her devotion never waivered. She was madly in love with both Bob and Don and was brokenhearted when they each died. I am sure their reunion was lovely.
My condolences to her family...
