From Rexanne Jacobs :
My parents loved square dancing with Leo and Lucille, so I got to spend a fair amount of time with them. I don’t remember if mom sent stuff with them to be delivered when they motor homed to Alaska or just came by to visit- but it made my day to see friends from home. Lucille always had good advice and parental type scoldings if they were warranted.
From Diana & Dennis Warburton:
We have wonderful memories of the Ketterling family when we were growing up. Basketball games at Minico and out of town games, water skiing and going to their house. Lucille always had a ton of energy and good food. We always enjoyed visiting with her & Leo in town. She was a wonderful person. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family

I loved getting to know Lucille as she taught a sewing class in their shop one year. From then on, whenever I ran into her, she was so friendly and generous.

Our condolences to the entire Ketterling Klan. She was a remarkable woman. We loved dancing with Leo & Lucille at many festivals and especially visiting after Yellowstone. We got to meet the wonderful family and enjoy some of their activities with Grandma & Grandpa. Her cinnamon rolls were the best. She will so missed by so many.

Lucille had a lot of spunk. She raised two handsome and charming sons who my best friend Joycelyn and I secretly had crushes on back in high school. What a wonderful God fearing family! Bless you all!

Aunt Lucille made the best ravioli. I got to help her once. She was an angel helping my mother when she had cancer.
From Henrique de Carvalho:
While living with Leanne and Gary, I was lucky enough to be able to call Lucille Grandma. For one year, we spent many moments together, she gave me many hair cuts and cinnamon rolls, and we shared countless happy moments. Her heart was too big that she did not hesitate to adopt one more grandchildren. Luckily, I recently had a chance to spend more time with her and remember all those happy moments we lived together. Thank you for everything you did to me, Grandma Ketterling. And thank you for the beautiful and incredible people that you left in this world. I am sure you are at a happy place now because you only deserve the best.

From Corinne (Knopp) Murray :
Lucille was a great neighbor. I would often be riding on my bike and stop to visit her. She and Leo lived just south of my parents. She never treated me as a dumb kid but would visit with me as if I were an adult. She will be missed by many. Please accept my condolences.
From lynn hunsaker:
No one will remember but I took accordion lessons from her and she never forgot me. She was quite a person and touched so many lives.
From Dale L. Miles:
Boy do I remember Sweet Lucile and Leo. I was fortunate to know all of the Ketterling Clan. The Diners at their place north of the Minidoka Hospital. Lucile didn't mince words where ever I met her. Leo and his wood working shop which I went to numerous times. I cherish all the memories as being a part of the Minidoka Community.
