Lucille A. Horstman, 96, of Britt, passed away Thursday, February 14, 2002, at Westview Care Center in Britt.

Lucille Horstman the daughter of Michael and Sarah McGinn Gahan was born May 31, 1905, in Clare, Iowa. She graduated from Britt High School in 1925, and subsequently taught in a rural Hancock County School NW of Britt for several years. In 1931 she received her Cosmetology Certification in Des Moines and then continued for a time as an instructor at the school.

She married Elmer Horstman on August 16, 1933, in Wesley, Iowa. They made their home on a farm SE of Britt for 50 years where they raised their four children.

Lucille was active in the community as a 4-H leader, an originating member of the Jolly Circle, St. Patrick's Catholic Church, and the Catholic Daughters of America, and supported her children and grandchildren in their many school activities. She enjoyed a rich full life that included traveling, card clubs – especially bridge with her friends and her favorite
pastime was doting on her extended family.

Lucille is survived by four children: Patricia Looft and husband John, of Rochester, Minnesota, Paul Horstman and wife Mildred, of Britt, Robert Horstman and wife, Michele, of Britt, and Sara Kuhl and husband Larry, of Seattle, Washington;
12 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Elmer, 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

Friends and relatives are invited to join the
family for lunch following the service.

We deeply appreciate the tribute accorded
our loved one by your presence here today.
