Lucille Canfield, longtime Ruston resident, has died. Lucille was 82 years young and spent her entire life living in the Ruston area. She served on the Ruston Town Council in the 1980's with Mayor Pete Brudevold (who was murdered while in office). Lucille had battled bone marrow cancer for a long time.
Her son, Steve Tucker, still lives in Ruston and works as one of the town's maintenance men. A celebration of Lucille's life will be held this Saturday, July 28th at 2pm at the VFW Hall on Baltimore Street. You can view the obituary and leave a note for the family in today's News Tribune here...
Lucille gave much of her life to this town, working and volunteering for decades to make us a better community. She saw tremendous change in her 82 years here but always maintained her love for Ruston. Her input and memories are lost to us now, but the town she helped build lives on. Rest in peace, Lucille - you done good!
