She was always heavily involved in the goings on of her parish. She served in the choir while a parishioner at St. Teresa of Avila and as both a Lector and Eucharistic Minister while a parishioner of both St. Teresa of Avila & St. Margaret Mary’s. In her later years, Lucille moved northward to Wilton to be closer to some of her children, where she was a communicant of St. Clement’s parish in Saratoga Springs.
