Lucile West Obituary
Lucile Lorraine West, 80, of Isanti died on Thursday, January 4, 2007 at the Grandview Christian Home of complications resulting from congestive heart failure.
Lucile was the fourth child of Lucian Oliver. Her mother Lucile Slater Oliver died when she was five. She was blessed with six additional brothers and sisters from Lucian and Ruby Theline Oliver.
Lucile married Arvil W. West on June 13, 1943 at her family's home in Isanti County. They lived the majority of their married life in Isanti, except for a few years at Rush Lake where they enjoyed fishing summer and winter.
Lucile spent the last seven years of her life at Grandview Christian Home where she discovered a whole new life, playing bingo, learning to bowl at 79 and outings with new friends and staff. Lucile adopted many staff members as her sixth daughter.
Lucile raised five spirited daughters (Lucy, Loretta, Carol, Bonnie and Karen) and was a second mother to Jim, Jerry and Sharon who were her double nephews and niece that lived next door. She instilled the values of family, friends, hard work and generosity.
