In 1961 Lucy moved to Anacortes and married Harold Hamilton. In 1968 the family moved to Marysville WA where she raises her family. Lucile always had a passion for family, sewing, country music and sports. Lucy worked for many years for the Marysville Globe Newspaper and then continued her career with the Everett Herald Newspaper. Lucile and Harold divorced in 1978 retained a caring friendship.

Lucy lived in the Gig Harbor area for over twenty five years enjoying all of the true beauty and scenery the area had to give. Lucy retired from the Everett Herald Newspaper and took a job making pies and baked goods for the Pearl Cafe. When the Pearl closed she took up employment at Purdy’s cleaner in 1999 this is where she met her very dear friend Jim Kenyon. After several years the cleaner closed. In September of 2007 Lucile bought a new mobile home in Hillcrest mobile park complex. She absolutely loved her new home it was the greatest place for her favorite things, family, friends, Mariners and beading. Lucy had the most unique talent and passion for beading; she has made so many amazing pieces which will always and forever be cherished. Other hobbies include coin and sports cards collecting. Her love for baseball especially the Seattle Mariners was undoubted, no matter the score or record she would be dialed in. She was a true blue Mariner fan even the late night replay would be watched. Lucy will always be remembered for her love for Pepsi and of course her Christmas fudges, Hamburger baked beans, and most of all her beautiful smile.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
