     Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Dr. Linda Lu Kosal and husband Troy Kosal with grandchildren Lily, Vivien, Reese and Evelyn of Washington Township, Michigan.

     Marriage to Wayne D. Miller of Fairchance brought the couple to their Meadow Lane farm where Lucille was a celebrated hostess, celebrating Easter with large egg hunts and summer holidays with farm picnics. Both husband and wife worked three decades for the Albert Gallatin School District. Lucille was very accomplished with two Baccalaureate degrees from California University of Pennsylvania with both in nursing and elementary education. Lucille is fondly remembered as the AG High School Nurse for many years.

     The couple attended First Baptist Church of Fairchance where Lucille was an enthusiastic organizer and teacher of Sunday School and VBS.

     Upon Wayne D.’s passing in July of 2004, Lucille moved to Washington, Michigan to live with their daughter Linda Lu and her four grandchildren for twenty years providing much love and support as Grandmother in residence. Lucille enjoyed Disney parks and cruises, going to horse shows in the RV and playing with her five dogs.

     Grammy Lucille loved Jesus and especially church summer camps often serving as the camp’s RN at Camp Carmel. Over the last decade, Lucille has become an energetic supporter of Springhill Christian Camps in Michigan, helping her grandchildren prepare to attend and work as teen volunteers.
