Obituary of Lucille Herrera
Please share a memory of Lucille to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Our beautiful beloved Mother Lucille M. Herrera, has gone home with our heavenly Father, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Friday, April 6, 2007 at the age of 91 years. She joins our Dad, her beloved husband of 68 years, Dafnis Herrera, and a daughter; Guadalupe ?Pita? Collinge, and her other brothers and sister, and a Granddaughter; Elizabeth Chavira. Granny as we all knew her was born on February 16, 1916 in Austin, Texas, and married Dafnis in 1931. The majority of her adult life, she was a herbalist and herbal consultant. She was a retired salesperson for a men's retail store in the "downtown" area for 25 years. She also raised her children and volunteered as a teacher's aid for 1st grade and Kindergarten. She volunteered at the Pan American Recreation Center teaching exercise classes. She campaigned for local politicians too. Her greatest joy was always for gardening, and she truly had a green thumb. Granny was an excellent cook and baker, and continued cooking until the age of 88 years. We will always remember and miss all her wonderful talents and accomplishments. We want to express our appreciation to the Southwood Care Center, Hospice of Austin and special thanks to Dr. Guadalupe Zamora.
