After marriage they farmed near Scranton and retired in Glidden. She loved to travel, garden, do handwork and spend time with her grandchildren. She was a member of Peace Lutheran Church, the Ladies Aid, a quilting group and the anniversary club.

She is survived by two children, Janet Tryon and her husband, Dale, of Ames, and Everitt Petersen and his wife, Terri, of Cedar Rapids; eight grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.

The family suggests that friends may, if they wish, contribute to a memorial fund in memory of Lucille to the Peace Lutheran Church of Glidden.

Dahn and Woodhouse Funeral Home of Glidden is in charge of arrangements.
