I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Lucille. I have known and worked with her for many years. She, along with her husband Ron brought so much to CQC. Any project that was presented to them, they stepped up and worked to achieve excellent results. She was kind, thoughtful, generous and always had that lovely smile. And she loved that new bike!!!!!!

Lucille was a kind, gracious and lovely member and never met a stranger. She made us all feel welcome. I'll miss seeing her.

I have only known Ms. Lucille for 2 years but she was always a bright spot in my day and I am so sad to hear she has passed. I looked forward to seeing her and listening to her advocate for the Shirley Sanden Fund. She was an encourager to me and a sweet person. I am so grateful I was able to capture some of her moments with her dear friends at the CQC get-togethers. Rest in Peace Ms. Lucille.

Lucille was a wonderful friend. Her smile, her work ethic and commitment to CQC, her readiness to pitch in whenever asked, a strong voice for CQC and its membership, and so much more. I will miss you my friend and our times working together.

I think Lucille would have loved this photo being here! She was really enjoying this trike!
