sorry to find out of Lucille passing so much later. She was known my by parents Kay and Nelson Bessey. A wonderful person. I will never forget when my son at age of 5 now 25 was selling things for school. No one would order any wrapping paper and he showed it to everyone. Lucille was his only customer to order wrapping paper. I am sure she is greatly missed.

Lucille was my first piano teacher. I remember going over to her house when I was a child. So sorry that I missed her passing.

Randall & Family, I have many fond memories of your mom (my moms cousin) my fondest memory of her is the pocketful of photos she always carried with her everywhere to share, her family especially her grandsons and of course her beautiful handmade quilts. I was glad to see her holding a small quilt in her hands to take with her.

So sorry for your loss! She must have been a very special woman as I read of her life. A true "servant". May your memories carry you through the tough days and may God give you comfort in knowing she is with Him.

Mrs. Jensen will be sorely missed. She was my 1st grade teacher and one of my very, very favorite teachers. I never saw her without a smile on her face. She was one of the most loving, caring and dedicated teachers I have ever known. My life was made so rich by having known her. I will always love you Mrs. Jensen for the love and care that you showed me.

Randy and family we will miss your mother a great deal. In the last 3 years she has felt like family to us. Her friendship with my father changed a lonely old man into one who looked forward to each day because of his friend Lucy.
Lucy had a spirit that would not quit - no matter what life handed her, she went forward with a zeal and love of life. jim and I have met few people like her and consider our lives richer and fuller because she became a part of them.
Her generosity knew no bounds - the joy of giving, helping others, were just second nature to her - it was her very being.
We will always treasure the short time we spent with your mother and be so thankful that she entered our lives.

Randall & family ~ so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful person. Up until a couple years ago she would buy fruit from me at Vestaburg HS and I would deliver it to her. We'd spend a little time talking; I always enjoyed our conversations. She was a very sweet lady and always had a smile. All who knew her were fortunate to have her in their lives. May God bless your family.

My condolences to the family of a very special lady. Lucille was a wonderful, giving, and loving, person. I worked for the Migrant Education Program when she worked for Special Education at the Montcalm Area ISD. She always had a kind smile on her face.

Lucille's family and friends are in my thoughts... Lucille had been my sister's (Allene's) POHI teacher at Central Montcalm and I had worked with Lucille at the MAISD. What a kind sweet lady we will always remember her is being.

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
I am Carolyn's sister and I am so thankful to have known Lucille. Over the years I have enjoyed her quilts,recipies and hearing about all of you. She was at my house for Easter last year with Carolyn & Lon. Lucille and my hunsband Jim,who is also an avid "Tiger Fan",had the best time cheering them on! There was alot of noise and laughter!
She inspired me with just her presence. What a wonderful mother & grandmother you had. She will be greatly missed.

Lucille and I became close friends in high school and upon graduation she went to college and i joined the Army Air Force.
Until 2007 we never had any contact then one day I decided to call her from my home in Houston, Texas. That was the start of the renewal of a wonderful friendship. In 2010 I visited her with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. We instantly became close friends again and each summer thereafter I would visited her at her home in Edmore. She and I revisited the places in Edmore where we shared our youth together. She was so kind and generous to me whenever I visited.
We spent hours talking on the phone, emailing each other everyday, exchanging letters and she sent me her wonderful homemade cookies.
Lucille was an avid Detroit Tiger fan. I could not get the games in Houston but she would call me and give me an inning by inning description of the game as it was happening on her TV. She was a great sports announcer!
i will miss her very much. She was a wonderful companion and girlfriend and will be greatly missed by this old man. The days will be lonely without hearing her sweet voice on the phone each day to greet me.

Randy and family, What a lovely Mother you had! I loved her. She was a 1st cousin to my Dad Harley Van Hoose.She always looked him up when she was at the Greenville High School. I was named after my Grandma Nora which was one of the Wilson girls including Aunt Ottie. I have a very good picture of Uncle Fred at my folks 40th wedding anniversary at my house. It was all 1st cousins, Dad, Floyd Van Hoose,John Van Hoose and their Uncle Fred. I cannot make the visitation nor funeral due to prior committment. Its to a 4 & 6 year olds and they don,t understand but my heart and prayers will be with you all. Nora Ellen Godfrey

Lucille Jensen was a dear friend of my mother and of my family. She and my mother spent many enjoyable hours working on quilts together. She was always available to lend a hand, no matter the circumstances. She also made the best raspberry pies in the world! She will be missed by all who knew her.

Lucille was one of my mother's (Bea's) closest friends. They enjoyed many hours of quilting together. I'm sure she's now working on beautiful new quilt of many colors and will have all eternity to finish it.
