The couple farmed together north of Washington until 1990 when they moved to Halcyon House.
Lucille was a homemaker who enjoyed flowers and crocheting, shopping and going out to eat with the "Miller ladies." After retirement, she developed an interest in drawing and sharing them with friends and family. Lucille was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Riverside.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 2007; her daughter, Bonnie Tindal; granddaughter, Laura Tindal; two sisters, Clara Johnson and Alice Ahmling; and three brothers, Everett, William and Ellis Finke.
She will be remembered as caring, cheerful, and always optimistic. Her smile will be missed by all.
