LUCILE ELNORA HILTY
December 12, 1912 to April 27, 2005
Lucile was born in Burbank, Wisconsin so they could enjoy their retirement years nearer to their only child, Bill and his family. In 1982 they bought a home on Little Pine Lake just west of Finlayson. Merlin preceded Lucile in death on July 7, 1982. Lucile took up residence in the new home in August. Her youngest grandchildren, twins, were born the following December.
Lucile truly treasured all the new friendships she found, and often spoke of her good fortune at having so many good neighbors and friends, and people who helped her out. She especially enjoyed years of good times with her pinochle pals. She had wonderful help and many welcome visitors, especially after she was no longer able to get out. She, and her family, are especially grateful for her friendship with Beverly Sawatzky, who was, as she said, “more like a daughter.”
Lucile is survived by her son, Bill and his wife, Laurie, five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, who will cherish memories of years spent with her at home baking Christmas treats, shooting pool, and playing cards and word games. In keeping with her wishes there was no visitation or service.
