She attended school at the Lafleche and at the age of 15, she and her mother moved to Gravelbourg to work and support themselves. Moving to Gravelbourg was a turning point in Lucille's life.

Gérard and Lucille settled on a farm site immediately north of the Lizée home place and spent the next twenty-seven years raising their nine children. Lucille was a wonderful cook and would prepare fancy dishes for birthdays and special occasions. She and Gérard enjoyed playing cards and square dancing. The farm was sold in 1974 when the land value took a rise and Gérard 's health was being challenged. Lucille and Gérard then moved to Gravelbourg.
