Lucille Anderson Kennedy was born to Lydia and Louis (Red) Kennedy on January 21, 1918 in rural Meservey, Iowa. She graduated from high school in Meservey in 1936, and married Carroll D. Anderson on November 18, 1939. Lucille was known for her friendliness and hard work. She was employed for many years at the Clear Lake Bakery. She also assisted her husband in his management of the Surf Ballroom, and in Carroll’s Cafe and worked as a cook at the Clear Lake High School. Lucille worked at various places until she was 80 years old, never wanting to be inactive.

Lucille loved her family and was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was always ready to help when needed and to plan and join in many fun-filled family events. She enjoyed traveling, fishing trips, and spending winters in LasVegas with her husband, and brother and sister-in law, Lloyd and Sally Kennedy. She was very talented in needlework, having knitted many sweaters by hand and by machine, and she made hundreds of neckties for family and friends.

Lucille is survived by her two children, Thomas R. (Rozanne) Anderson of Jim Falls, Wisconsin, and Shelley (Rory) Wadle of Ankeny, Iowa; three grandchildren, Jon (Lynda) Anderson of Muskego, Wisconsin, Kate (Mark) Mechelke, of Sartell, Minnesota, and Jesse (Darrell) Johnson of Fargo, North Dakota; and six great-grandchildren, Tommy and Sarah Anderson, Megan and Callahan Mechelke, and Dylan and Delaney Johnson. She is also survived by sisters-in-law Sally Kennedy and Pat Anderson of Clear Lake, and two brothers-in-law, Edward (Betty) Anderson of Clear Lake, and Larry (Pat) Anderson, of Spencer, Iowa; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband Carroll; two brothers, Leonard (Phyllis) Kennedy and Lloyd Kennedy; four sisters, Loretta Neil, Luella Marshall, Lois (Jim) Wilson, Lorene (Frank) Haddy; brother-in law Robert Anderson, sisters-in-law Maureen (Harley) Coyle, Phyllis (Jerry) Jensen, and Lois (Everett) Hansen;
