several years as she loved spending time with little children and said that the children brought in the
sunshine-especially her two grandchildren. Lucy was a member of the Walhalla Lutheran Church and
taught Sunday School for several years; she especially enjoyed helping with the quilting projects and
making lefse and volunteering with church upkeep. Lucy was a member of the Walhalla Order of the
Eastern Star and held several offices throughout the years. As a homemaker, she loved to cook delicious
meals and enjoyed canning and baking breads, vienerterte and pies. She and Magnus enjoyed making
lefse together. Lucy spent a lot of the summertime gardening and tending to her flowers and yard.
