Lucienne was a gentle, caring and considerate woman with much wisdom and patience. Many hours were spent outdoors by their fire pit. Lucienne loved to travel and the outdoors. Numerous camping trips were enjoyed. She was a tremendous cook and all were always welcomed in her home. Her grandchildren say her cookies were the best and we all agree.
