Lucille Marion Addison, daughter of William Marion and Lucretia O'Neal Smith, was born November 3, 1912, near Ottumwa, in Taylor County, Iowa. She departed this life Saturday, April 12, 2003, in Breech Regional Medical Center, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of ninety years, five months, and nine days.

On February 12, 1931, she was united in marriage to Truman Edmund Addison, and to this union three daughters and one son were born.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Truman, on February 25, 1980; a daughter, Joan Addison; a brother, James Smith; and two sisters, Nellie Bowman, and Louetta Combs.

Lucille is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Dorothy Jean and Jack McMackin, of High Ridge, Missouri, and Betty Jo and John Porter, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; a son and daughter-in-law, Junior Edmund and Jan Addison, of Moscow Mills, Missouri; six grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; a brother, Forest "Bud" Smith, of Columbus, Georgia; two sisters, Dorothy Houk, of Ottumwa, Iowa, and Wilma Bowman, of Lebanon, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.

She was born in Iowa, and then moved with her family to the Lebanon, Missouri area when she was a young child. After she and Truman were married, they made their home in the Brush Creek community and worked side by side in the sawmill for several years. She and Truman then moved to St. Louis, where Truman was employed by the railroad, and together they lovingly raised their children. During this time, they also were foster parents to a number of children and Lucille did babysitting for many families throughout the next several years. After Truman retired from the railroad, he and Lucille moved back to the Brush Creek area, where Lucille continued to live until moving into Lebanon a few years ago.

Lucille made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life, and was a member of Emmanuel Chapel Bible Church for many years. Later, she transferred her membership to the Ozark Bible Church, near Lebanon.

She belonged to the Ladies Society of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers in St. Louis, and enjoyed volunteering at the Hughes Senior Citizen Center in Lebanon. She liked working in her garden where she grew beautiful flowers, and enjoyed feeding and watching the birds and had a special gift for handling animals. She also did sewing and quilting in her spare time. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren.

Lucille was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed, but the wonderful memories she created for her family and friends will live on forever.

Services will be held April 15, 2003 at 1:00p.m. in the Holman-Howe Chapel. Burial will follow in the Grange Hall Cemetery. Visitation will be held Monday Evening from 7-8:30p.m. under the direction of the Holman-Howe Funeral Home, Lebanon, Missouri.
