Lucille held various manufacturing and retail jobs throughout her working career. She found her true calling at the Sullivan County Nursing Home, where she retired as the Director of the Environmental Department, which brought her great pride and satisfaction.

She loved life, laughter, friends, and above all family. She spent many days hosting cookouts by the pool at her home, and the more the merrier was her motto. She had a great many friends and taking her shopping was a testament to that. Every other person she ran into would stop for hugs and extended conversation.

She was a communicate of St. Mary Parish and St. Josephs Parish and had spent numerous hours at the Adoration Chapel on a weekly basis.

She is survived by her son Karl Richards of Newport NH, one grandson Kraig Richards of Newport NH, her daughter-in-law Gail Richards of Avon CT and one daughter Karen Howard and her husband Rick, as well as several nieces and nephews.

A private service will be held for the family at a later date as well as a celebration of life this summer.
