Lucille D. Volk (Lummerding) was given the gift of life 86 years ago and on September 28th, God brought her to heaven. This is hard on those left behind, but how lucky we were to know such a kind, loving, talented and overall amazing mother, grandmother, great grandmother, wife, sister and friend. Lucille was born in Bruno, Saskatchewan. Raised to be persevering, motivated and hard working, Lucille never wavered from those instilled qualities throughout her life. Whether it was running a restaurant with her beloved husband, Anton Jacob Volk (Tony), raising 7 children, battling cancer on numerous occasions, losing beloved family members; persevere was something Lucille always just did. Lucille had a love for many things; God, quilting, cooking, sewing, plaster craft, crocheting; but most of all her love was focused on the love of her life Tony and their beloved 7 children, 18 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, her siblings and her friends. Lucille spent her life taking care of those she loved. Lucille got much joy in giving handmade crafts to her family, friends and especially to those less fortunate. Hundreds of people felt her generosity from her beautiful handmade quilts, crocheted blankets, baby outfits, hats, gloves and rosaries that were so lovingly made and whole heartedly given. Lucille was greeted in heaven by her loving husband Tony, her son Gregory, sister Sheila, brother Clifford and her parents William and Therese. She’s left a hole for those of us left behind including her children Rodney (Mary Margaret), Patricia, Barbara (Brent), Lindsay, Brian (Judith) and Bradley (Tina) along with all of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sisters Jane Corliss, Theresa Randall and brothers, Ronald and Gerald Lummerding.

A mass in celebration of Lucille’s life will be held on Friday, October 20 at 10:00 am at Sacred Heart Cathedral (255 Nicola Street) in Kamloops. A luncheon will follow mass with the interment at Hillside Cemetery at 1:00 p.m. The family would like to thank the numerous caregivers at Overlander Extended Care for their special care and attention and because Lucille was always helping others, in lieu of flowers, please pay it forward with a donation to a charity of your choice or in true Lucille style, spend time with your children or loved ones, reminisce about old times and appreciate enduring friendships lifelong and beyond. That is what Lucille would wish for you.
