Lucille was such a sweet person. She so enjoyed sharing views and stories about her doll collection. Kind souls such as Lucille are rare. Blessings to her family. Margery and Susan Hadl
Lucille was a treasured friend. I enjoyed the times we spent together talking about her life experiences. It was always a delight to see her perspective of the world and her sense of humor reflected in her scrapbooks. But it was her presence and her delightful transparency that I appreciate the most. I am blessed to have been her friend.

My mother and Mrs. Vann met over their shared love of antiques. My mother spoke often, with fondness, of Lucille Vann. I know Mrs. Vann was a special person from the stories she shared with my mom, which my mom shared with me. Prayers for her family.
