They made their home on a farm southwest of Minot for 21 years, where together they raised dairy cattle and had a milk route in Minot. After Albin's death in 1962, Lucille moved to her home in Minot. Lucille was an avid reader of "true" books and history books and was a worldwide traveler. She once took her father to Norway so he could see his birthplace. In Lucille's words, "Now I have done most of the travel I wanted to do. Have read the books I wanted to read, and planted the flowers I wanted to grow. Travel, flowers and books are my hobbies." Lucille was a warm and caring person. She loved her family and friends and especially loved little children. When she saw a baby, her eyes would light up and she would hold their tiny hand and smile. Lucille will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Lucille was a member of Vincent United Methodist Church, Minot.
