Lucille Ann
Mead
November 25, 1932 - November 12, 2021
Lucille Ann (Rees)
Mead was born to Wayne
and Viola (Hoff) Rees in
Longmont, Colorado, on
the 25th of November,
1932. She joined her loving
husband of 42 years, Roger
C. Mead, on November 12, 2021.
Lucille attended Aspen High School and graduated
with the Class of 1950; she then went on to get a
Bachelor’s of Science in Education from Northern
Colorado University. She taught third grade for a few
years, but found that was not enough of a challenge for
her so she enlisted in the Women’s Army Corps in 1958.
She worked in Intelligence near D.C. for two years.
After she left the WAC, Lucille moved to Moab, Utah,
where in 1968 she met and married Roger Mead. Two
years later their daughter, Karen, was born. Karen was
taught a strong faith in Jesus and the love of travel from
both parents. Faith in Jesus was important to Lucille
so she loved watching her step-grandchildren grow into
the Godly adults they are today.
Lucille also loved gardening, reading mystery books,
and traveling; especially by road-tripping across the
United States.
She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Karen
Mead; step-sons, Marshall and Paul Mead, many nieces
and nephews.
A graveside service will be held Monday, November

Birch Ave, Rifle, CO 81650
