In 1982, she retired as the bookkeeper at Robinson ISD. She was a fan of the Texas Rangers and she loved to read, do crossword, jigsaw and Sudoku puzzles, and write poetry and stories. Lucille was famous for her baking skills, and after retirement, she made many beautiful, colorful quilts for each generation of her family. She especially loved to spend time with her 11 grandchildren and 15 great- grandchildren, who all lovingly called her Monut.
She was preceded in death by her husband, her granddaughter, Jennifer Brown, four sisters and two brothers.
Lucille is survived by her daughters, Pat Brown, JoAnn Brown and husband, Jerry, Kay Luedtke and husband, Stan, Debbie Hendrix and husband, Kenny, and son Kenny Wollitz and wife, Jeanette; grandchildren, Cathy Turner and husband, Ted, Sam Brown and wife, Nicki, Amy Wolf and husband, Geoff, Laura Beth Tolliver and husband, Aaron, Jeremy Hendrix and wife, Kacie, Lisa Monsisvais and husband, Josh, Ross Luedtke, Sarah Luedtke, Melissa Goldberg and husband, Matt, and Michael Wollitz and wife, Sarah; and great-grandchildren Madeline, Kylee, Samantha, Aidan, Cole, Carter, Ryan, Caroline, Jackson, Mckenzie, Sophia, Emma, Mason, Emersyn and Ava.
