Lucille Marie Heyes was born October 25, 1939 in Lakota, Iowa to Marie and Ubbe Heyes. She married Roger Radtke on June 1, 1963, and was very proud to work side by side with Roger on the family farm and also worked as an LPN at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN in Surgery until her retirement on November 29, 2001. She was always a busy body and couldn't sit still so she still continued to work part time for a few more years. Roger and Lucille finally moved into their dream house on the lake in Lindstrom on November 29, 2008.
She enjoyed fishing, crocheting, and sewing. She was very talented with the sewing machine and could fix and sew anything you could think of. She was picky about her work too, and Roger had the job of pulling apart seams and zippers that she wasn't 100% pleased with. She also had an embroider machine that she was proud of and embroidered designs on everything she wore, and everything she gave as gifts also. She also loved sewing doll clothes for granddaughters and to sell.
She is survived by her husband of nearly 52 years, Roger Radtke. Daughter, Sandra (John) Stiles of Chippewa Falls, WI, Sons, Gary (Betsy) Radtke of Mazeppa, MN, Kevin (Michelle) Radtke of Pine Island, MN and David (Becky) Radtke of Mazeppa, MN.
