Palmer resident Lucille Mary King died July 28, 2009, at age 83. A memorial service was held Aug. 21, 2009, with a rosary, family visitation, and the service, with a reception afterward at Saint Michael's Parish in Palmer, where Lucille was a member for 63 years.

Lucille was born Feb. 26, 1926, in Willamina, Ore., to Frank William and Agatha Darcy Vinecore. Lucille graduated from Billings High School in Montana and attended nursing school in Portland, Ore. Lucille married John Provolt King in September 1946. Four days later they were on a steamship bound for Alaska, where Lucille lived for the next 64 years. Her family wrote: "Lucille lived an active life. She and John owned and operated Mamma's Wood Yard for 26 years, and later she worked for the Palmer Pioneer home in nursing. Lucille was an accomplished seamstress, using both ingenuity and creativity. Lucille collected dolls throughout the years, sewed new clothes for them and donated them to the Bishop's Attic No. 2 charity auction. Lucille was active in Butte Homemakers, 4-H Club and the Palmer Bishop's Attic No. 2 as a board member and a volunteer. Lucille loved to travel, enjoying both national and international destinations. She also loved to winter in Arizona, but she always came home for Christmas. Lucille was the center of her family and they were devoted to her." The family described her as unselfish, resourceful and creative. A friend described her as a woman of beauty, grace and grit. Lucille was preceded in death by husband of 54 years, John P. King, and grandson, Rodney Sean Allen.

Lucille is survived by her children, Sandi Allen, Susan (Terry) Beal, Evelyn (Greg) Ochoa, Ellen Jones, Kathy (Rick) Harrington, Kent (Ann) King, and Laura (Tom) Shones; 17 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; twin sister Leona Ann (Mel) Wienecke; in-laws Lyle and Louise Saxton and several nieces and nephews in Washington, Oregon and California. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Palmer Bishop's Attic No. 2 or cancer research in Lucille's name.
