Lucille Wagner-McKibbin, 82, residing on Longfellow Avenue, South Bend, Ind., passed away suddenly on Saturday morning, March 24 in Southfield Village, where she had been residing for the past two months. Mrs. McKibbin was born on April 9, 1918, in South Bend, as the daughter of Herman F. and Elizabeth (Bailey) Wagner, and had lived in this area most of her life.

On July 2, 1938, in South Bend, she was married to Frederick Raymond McKibbin, who passed away on Aug. 12, 1980.

Lucille retired as a receptionist for May-Oberfell and Lorber Law Offices following 30 years of service.
She dearly loved her children, but cherished her grandchildren, and her eyes just sparkled whenever she saw her great-grandchildren.

She graduated in 1936 from James Whitcomb Riley High School, and served on the Riley High School Reunion Committee for many years.
