Lucille was united in marriage to Henry Milford Skogstad on Oct. 16, 1940 in Decorah, Iowa. The couplelived and raised their family near the Wisconsin-Illinois border, before retiring and moving to Radisson in 1979. In November of 2006 the couple moved to Ladysmith to be closer to their family. Lucille loved baking and cooking for everyone. She never had a visitor without offering to feed them. She mastered the art of lefse making; no other lefse could compare to that which was made by her hands, a self- taught technique and recipe.
