Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Colyer Funeral Home and friends are invited to send condolences to the family at www.colyerfuneralhome.com Lucille was born on November 26, 1915 in Staplehurst, Nebraska the daughter of John and Maude (Dey)Gorman. The family then homesteaded in Goshen County, Wyoming and Lucille grew up in the "Goshen Hole" area where she graduated from Veteran High School in 1932. As a child on the "homestead", she shared in the many chores typical to the hard life her family endured as homesteaders. In her early school years, Lucille rode her faithful pony, "Cupid" to school and since she was so short, she would always have to find something to stand on so that she could get up on her pony. Getting off was easy . . . . she simply slid down his neck! Her greatest loves were her home and family and she so enjoyed spending time with her family and her door was open to all. Lucille's home and hospitality were always the "focal" point for guests who came to visit Wyoming. She loved to have everyone sitting around the table drinking coffee and eating her wonderful pies/cakes and visiting. Lucille was an exceptional cook, a wonderful homemaker, and she so enjoyed taking care of her home. She loved working in her yard and garden in her younger years. She was an accomplished seamstress, and liked crocheting. She made many beautiful afghans which she gave away to family and friends. Lucille enjoyed listening to country music and she especially enjoyed going to see country stars perform. Lucille was a sweet, caring, and thoughtful person who had a smile for everyone, and she kept God in her heart always. She was the most loving Mother, and her daughter, Betty, has said that she could not have asked for a greater gift in her life than to have had Lucille for her mother and friend. Lucille's unconditional love was without question. Though she suffered through various diseases and hardships, Lucille never complained and so loved life. We know she is happy to be reunited in Heaven with her family, but for those who remain, their loss is great and they will miss her so very much. The family extends a special thanks to Sangre De Cristo Hospice and her nurse for all their help and caring. Lucille is survived by her loving daughter, Betty H. Bumgarner of Pueblo West, Colorado; a step-son and his wife, William and Sandy Frazier of Laramie, Wyoming; a step-daughter, Esther M. Dick of Torrington, Wyoming; step-grandchildren, Ronda Frazier, Jennifer Hunter, Virginia (Bruce) Mues, and Cliff (Karen) Dick; nieces, Patricia Schmidle and Shirley (Wendel) Grapes, and Marilyn Smedley; nephews, Sydney McLaughlin and Harry Grout; sister-in-law, Laura Frasier; special 'cousins', Tom and Peg Stoneking; and several great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild, and other relatives and friends.
