Our precious mother and grandmother, Lucile, died unexpectedly from complications of surgery on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017. She was preceded in death by her husband, Edwin Joscelyn, and her daughter, Amy Benson.
Lucile was born April 12, 1934, to Alvin and Gladys Wisdom. She spent much of her childhood with her wonderful grandmother, Lula Maude, from whom she learned the values that would stay with her for her entire life.
Lucile had an infectious sense of humor and a zest for life that she instilled in her children and grandchildren. She wrote poetry, had a beautiful singing voice and, with no formal training, played several instruments including the accordion, harmonica, guitar and drums.
Her sewing and cooking abilities were perfection. She was an avid gardener and delighted in antique shopping. But her greatest love was her children and grandchildren.
During her lifetime, Lucile not only loved her own children but provided the same for numerous other children. She supported them in their every endeavor and enjoyed their successes.
Lucile's outlook on life was largely influenced by her dedication to her faith as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. She believed in all Bible teachings and promises, including the resurrection of the dead to life on a perfect Earth as found in John 5:28-29. Her favorite scripture was Revelation 21:3-4.
Lucile is survived by her seven children, LuAnne (Sutton) Naccarini, Tresa (Sutton) English, Mark Sutton, Tammy (Sutton) Reilly, Lisa (Sutton) and husband Mark Ponozzo, Misty (Benson) and husband Brian Gearhart, and Gordon "Boo" Benson II and Jenny; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Our dear, sweet mother and grandmother fed us, clothed us, loved us and taught us to hold our heads high. We unitedly feel a profound loss too great to bear.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, located at 120 Randall Drive in Orofino.
