On January 16, 1939 Lucille entered this life as abruptly as she departed it when she was born in the back seat of her parent's, Jess and Selma (Burkhart) Groves car in Hudson, Colorado.

At the time of her death, she was secretary for the Deuel & Snyder Ditch Board, a lifetime member of the Trinity Lutheran Church in Ft. Morgan and the Colorado Good Shepherd Home.
