Lucille Christofferson Kohnhorst

Despite being severely hearing impaired since childhood, Lucille loved music and would often break into an impromptu song or dance, her lovely blue eyes sparkling with childlike joy. Lucille lived and breathed her Mormon faith. She never wavered in her devotion to the Lord, always happy to play the piano or teach a Sunday school class; whatever she was asked to do. As a young woman, Lucille served a two year mission for the church in Sweden.While there, she was able to find ancestral records back to1700. She loved all things Swedish, especially an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord. Lucille worked as an accountant at many firms, balancing the books for over a decade at Audio Graphic Films in Hollywood. Frugal by nature, Lucille had a wild side. Yes, that was her flying to Cuba to cha- cha- cha. She also made a big trip with her cousins to live in Venice, California where she bought a brand-new Bonneville convertible in salmon, the latest shade. Family meant the world to Lucille. She encouraged her wayward son, Keith, to write for the North Muskegon Lake Shore Times where seeing his weekly byline motivated him to return to college. In her later years, Lucille was visited daily by Jan, her daughter, who always gave her mom a smile and a hand to hold. Lucille had a close bond with her sister Gloria, where out on Giles Rd, they played many a Scrabble match. Her nieces and nephews provided steady love and support. At age 78, Lu became a grandmother for the first time; She treasured putting contests on the carpet with Ben and completing puzzles with Tessa.
