She enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, word searches, card playing, dominos, going out to eat with friends, and baking (especially her delicious pies). She enjoyed her beautiful red geraniums which were enjoyed by many who passed by her home. She enjoyed attending her children's sporting events. Lucile crocheted afghans for each of her children and grandchildren.
