Lucille Oeffling, 81, of Johnsburg, died Sunday, March 6, 2011, at her home in Johnsburg.
She was born Aug. 19, 1929, in Crystal Lake, to Ernest and Minnie (Flotow) Timm. She married Alger John Oeffling on June 5, 1948, at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Crystal Lake.
A longtime resident of Johnsburg, she was employed at Oaks Manufacturing in Crystal Lake and LGS/Triple E in McHenry.
She was a member of the Catholic Order of Women Foresters, St. Agatha Court 777. She was a Girl Scout leader for many years, and always was known by her family as "chief cook and bottle washer" and babysitter to all. She always was a hard worker and thought of her family before herself. She enjoyed making her home open to all and always was willing to set another place. Partially losing her eyesight limited her ability to help others.
She enjoyed puzzles and scratch-off games. She also was an avid bingo player and enjoyed trips to play the slot machines. Reading was a favorite activity.
