Lucy was a long time resident of Grafton, moving there in 1966, and living out the remainder of her life in that same home. Although she was most proud of being a wife, mother and grandmother, she worked various part time jobs, including as bookkeeper at the Grafton Hotel and in retail at Shopko, Wayne’s Drive In and Pet Supply Outlet. She was an avid gardener and enjoyed a variety of craft hobbies including crochet and cross stitch, and was a volunteer quilter at St. John Lutheran Church.

In recent years she enjoyed many trips to Las Vegas and watching Packer games at the Bridge Inn with her “partner in crime,” Fred. She was a devoted grandmother, and proudly attended many basketball, baseball and soccer games, as well as concerts, musicals and other theater productions.
