Sister Lucilla's Obituary

I knew Sister Lucilla when she was at Holy Angels in Sandusky as principal. Mom used to take us to visit her there. I do remember seeing beautiful slides of her trip to Europe, including the trip on the Rhine. And, my memories include the funny stories my friend, Sharon LaLond, told of being a student there, and getting in trouble, and getting sent to see Sister Lucilla.

RIP

She entered the Sisters of Mercy at Our Lady of the Pines in Fremont, Ohio on September 24, 1932 and was a Sister of Mercy for 73 years.

Lesa, How gracious of you to post this on your site. I know your mother passed along the information. As a point of reference, I'm Lester's daughter and have be in e-mail contact with 'Cousin Windsor,' as I knew him, for a few years touching base on the all comings and goings in your branch of the family. When I first told Dad that I was e-mailing he just looked at me and said, "Bud?" I didn't know who he was talking about. Took a while, but we figured it out. As for Sister in Europe, I think I remember something about that. I do know she would go out to California to visit her sister Lucy and went down to Florida a few times. No grass grew under those feet!
It's been a long week.
Thank you, again.

Oh, forgot...
"Spradlin Reinbolt" should read Mary Reinbolt Spradlin.
