She attended Antioch School and later was a member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church for over fifty years.  Lucille was active in women’s mission, the choir, and the culinary committee.  In 1982, her husband was ordained as a deacon and she faithfully supported him with his new mission.  She continued to call and check on the elderly members of the church and join in on hospital visits.  

She later moved to Round Rock, Texas where she became a member of David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church of Austin.  She attended faithfully with family until the COVID-19 pandemic and health reasons no longer allowed her to.  Lucille continued to participate in the prayer calls and watch the services online.
