                Lucille was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Ronald A. DeBlois Sr., who passed away in 2000. Together they shared countless memories and built a strong loving family. Lucille was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Everyone was welcomed into her home, and no one left hungry, a legacy that has carried on to her children.

Lucille lived a vibrant life always prioritizing her family’s well-being. She was a parishioner of St. Augustine Parish and a member of Manchester Strides, a senior walking group, where she found joy in exercise and companionship.
