She joined the Congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary in Saint Hyacinthe, QC, and made her first vows on February 3, 1949. She started her music career in Manitoba: The Pas, Laurier, St. Lazare, and Winnipeg. She also taught music in Spiritwood, in Prince Albert (Presentation of Mary Academy), Debden, Vawn, and Bellevue. She enjoyed deepening her prayer life at the retreat house in St. Hilaire, QC. For nine years, she lived at our General House in Castelgandolfo, Italy, where she delighted in preparing the liturgy for the sisters. Her years of retirement were spent at the Provincial House in Prince Albert, where she kept herself busy, useful and happy; finding ways to be of service in the archives department and by keeping abreast of Vatican news. Ecology, was one of Sister Lucille’s favorite themes of research and she challenged those around her about it. As her health was failing, she was transferred to the infirmary in Prince Albert. Sister Lucille will be remembered for her great love of the Church, her profound fidelity to prayer and her sincerity in the service of God.  Family and friends may send condolences to www.riverparkfuneral.ca Interment will take place in the Sisters’ Section, South Hill Cemetery.  Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of RIVER PARK MEMORIAL CHAPEL, Donald M.
