ALFRED — Lucille B. Main, 89, a lifelong resident of Alfred, died on Thursday, April 16, 2015 at Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford following a period of declining health.
She was born at home in Alfred on July 21, 1925, a daughter of Roscoe and Gladys (Adams) Hussey.
Lucille loved working for Gile’s Family Farm packing apples. She loved country music and always attended the country music jams at the American Legion Hall, Brown Emmons Post 134, in Alfred. She enjoyed going to the Dairy Queen and dining out at the Longhorn Steakhouse in Biddeford.
Lucille was a very loving and caring stepmother to Paul Main and his wife, Cheryl. She was also very active tending to her gardens; growing and cultivating her rose bushes and working around her yard. She was forever chasing squirrels from her bird feeders, yet smiled when the deer came and munched on her lawn.
Lucille was most content to be at her home, sitting on the front porch, enjoying visits with her family and friends.
Lucille was always happy to see her step-grandsons, Christopher and Patrick. She was quick to greet them and remained interested in their day-to-day lives. Without fail, Lucille always reminded them when they went fishing to bring her home some trout. That was her standing order for them.
Lucille was a country girl at heart, a hard worker; she’d help her family and neighbors at the drop of the hat. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her family.
Lucille is survived by: her son, Dennis; her sisters, Phyllis, Mable, Betty, Cora, and Roberta; her brothers, Elwin, Bob, Tom, Sam, and Nelson; her granddaughter, Amanda; her stepchildren, Paul and his wife Cheryl; her step-grandchildren, Christopher and Patrick; and many nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, April 22 at 10 a.m. at the Evergreen Cemetery in Alfred, where she will be laid to rest with her husband, Leon W. Main.
