Lucile was born Sept. 3, 1916 on a farm outside of Clear Lake, the daughter of
Lloyd and Leta (Harthan) Crozier. Lucile went to country school, where she first
met Glenn Westover and his sister Ellen Mae, whom she quickly befriended. She
attended Clear Lake High School, graduating in 1934. She planned to be a
secretary, but instead married her childhood sweetheart Glenn on Feb. 24, 1935,
a decision she never regretted. She became a member of the First Congregational
Church not long afterwards, and worshipped there for many years and was active
serving on Board of Deacons several different times over the years and was
cradle roll leader.

Lucile and Glenn had two children, Roger and Allan, who both grew up in Clear
Lake. She was a member of band booster, an Air Force mother, and was a wonderful
friend to a significant number of people. She continued her busy social life,
including playing cards and eating out, up until the week she passed away. She
loved playing cards, trips to LasVegas and Hawaii, Dove ice cream bars and
making pies. She was well loved throughout her life by many, and they will all
cherish memories of a vital, vivid, loving, and laughing Lucile.

She is survived by her two sons, Roger Westover, Clear Lake, and Allan Westover
and his wife, Bonnie Lauber Westover, Brooklyn Park, Minn.; three grandchildren,
Tammy Westover Boeshart, Clear Lake, Jonas Westover, Brooklyn Park, and
Nathaniel Westover and his wife, Michela, Philadelphia, Penn.; sisters-in-law,
Ellen Mae Ouverson and Maxine Westover, both of Clear Lake.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Glenn in 1997; her brother,
Wayne Crozier in 1928; daughter-in-law, Marilyn Westover in 1986; and a
grandson-in-law, Jeff Boeshart in 2003.
