Lucille had many occupations over the years. Her first job was at Quincy Specialty Company where she made doctors’ uniforms among other things. She then went to Keifer Printing. From there, Lucille went to Omaha Nebraska Radio School where she made radios and even made one for herself. She then went to United Airlines in Chicago and to their school.
