Lucille was born in China. She spent her formative years, which she remembers were full of love, in Shanghai with her extended family. She was an exceptional student and was affectionately known as the family bookworm. Lucille spe Read Obituary
I will always remember Aunt Lucille’s kindness, humor, and open heart. She had a wonderful way of connecting with people of all ages, making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Her calm spirit and emotional strength were truly inspiring. She lived a beautiful and full life, raising a loving family and touching many lives along the way. I feel grateful for the Thanksgiving dinners and warm conversations we shared. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
Lucille was the first friend that I met at Stoneridge Creek just a few days after we had moved in. From then on through the years we were remained special friends, and along with Lori Suzuki participated in the majority of Stoneridge Creek events and activities together. Above all our favorite activity was weekly shopping sprees which involved delicious lunches at a large variety of restaurants. Also, Lucille was fun loving, a pleasure to get along with and generous as well as hospitable. She often would invite me and a couple of other friends over for an impromptu delicious Chinese dinner followed by an evening of mah jong. So it is with deep gratitude to Lucille for having enriched my life with her invaluable friendship.

好伯伯 (my aunt) was my father's only younger sister. She left for the States to study when I was quite young.
I truly got to know her, my uncle and my cousins when I went to study in the States and spent the holidays with them.
As there were limited Chinese cooking ingredients in upstate NY in the 70's, her culinary skills were truly amazing. It was even more incredible that she managed to make 油條 (Chinese savory donuts)! Her thoughtfulness and care was much appreciated when she made my favorite Chinese pork floss and mailed it to my dorm. Each bite was treasured as it saved me from eating dorm food for a few days.
When we were together, we enjoyed chatting till the wee hours as we were both night owls.
好伯伯 will be dearly missed not only as a beloved and respected aunt, but as a confidant, advisor and soulmate.
If I ever make it to heaven, I hope we will have our reunion there. 🙏🙏

Auntie Lucille was such a wonderful woman. To me, she epitomized social-emotional intelligence in her ability to bring a sense of fun, enjoyment and inclusion during family gatherings. She cared for and included so many friends and family in her circle and we will always feel blessed that she thought of us in extended family holiday gatherings and made us feel cared for and welcomed. I will always remember how with so many family members to think of, she always remembered that I lliked noodles :). Her cooking and recipes were amazing and I loved to chat with her about how she made them. I especially liked her bean curd dish with mushrooms and veggies. We are happy that she had a long and happy life and that in her last years she could travel to Hawaii with her children and grandchildren and see everyone to say good-bye. We will always love and miss you Auntie Lucille. Pat, Andrew & Jason
