She graduated from Marengo High School in 1938 and married Donald C. Langlas on June 12, 1943, in South Amana. Lucille was employed over the years with the telephone office in Marengo, the state tax office in Des Moines and ACT in Iowa City.
She enjoyed quilting and embroidering, bowling, reading, baking and her flower garden and plants. She especially enjoyed spoiling her four grandsons.
Lucille was the best WIFE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, SISTER AND FRIEND. She was her own worst critic, always saying she should have done it better. She was generous and giving and will be deservingly rewarded in heaven.
The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff of Highland Ridge and especially the staff of Willow Creek.
