Whereas, for fifty years, Lucille served as a domestic worker for the family of Helen and William Burnette. She retired at the amazing age of ninety-one; and
Whereas, in the community, she was one of the organizers of Westside Community Club #1 and is the only surviving charter member. She served as vice president for a number of years; and
