She was passionate about all her babies, grandchildren and great grandchildren and the babies she later tended at the Nazareth Home. A member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and the Rosary Society, Lucille was a committed and unquestioning Catholic. Lucille was always enthusiastic about quality, fitness, her hobbies and projects. She loved helping neighbors and friends and also raising her beloved poodles. But her favorite endeavor by far was her Girl Scouts. Yet, her greatest passion was shared mutually with her husband Harold Rueth. Their more than 60 year partnership, through all life’s ups and downs, was built on their belief in each other and their intertwined goals and needs. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to the Nazareth Home, P.O.
