Obituary for Lucille Ellen Wood (Wasoski)
Lucille Ellen Wood, 99, of Camby passed away peacefully at home on August 2, 2019. She was born to Carl and Ethel Wasoski in South Bend in February of 1920. She was a graduate of Washington High School, South Bend Indiana. She has been a resident of Camby since 1954.
Lucille met and fell in love with William "Quentin" Wood in the spring of 1942 and they married October 3, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee. They shared complete respect and love for each other for 75 years until Quentin's death in 2017.
She was completely devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren and her faith in God. She shared in growing and preserving the fruit and vegetables from our trees and garden but her true love was the flowers we grew for her. She enjoyed music, travel and making photo albums and scrapbooks and journaling. She always spent a portion of her day with devotions and talking with God.
Lucille was a member of West Newton United Methodist Church. She was active in United Methodist Church Women and World Missions. After Quentin's retirement they volunteered for the UMC Mission "Volunteers Building for God" primarily in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
She was preceded in death by her husband Quentin Wood, brothers Carl Wasoski Jr, Lester Wasoski, Robert Wasoski, Eugene Wasoski, sisters Mary Waldorf and Jane Ward, an infant son James Alan Wood and great grandsons Daniel Dean and Brayden Pennington.
