Lucille Buelt

Lucille Catherine Buelt, daughter of Henry and Ann (Schwabe) Beckman was born December 27, 1927 at home in Westside, Iowa. She graduated from Arcadia High School in 1945 as the class valedictorian.

After high school, Lucille worked at the Arcadia bank for a few years. On September 14, 1948 she was united in marriage with Herbert Buelt at St. John’s Catholic Church in Arcadia. From this union six children were born.

Lucille and Herbert lived on their farm north of Halbur where she was a homemaker. She also helped around the farm milking cows and feeding chickens.

She was known for her hospitality and generosity towards others. Lucille was a great listener and an excellent cook and baker. She enjoyed playing cards and dominos; beyond all these things, her pride and joy were her grandchildren. She was a member of St. Augustine Church and lady’s guild and was an original member of the Board of Deans Halbur U Scholarship Fund.

In 2008 Lucille became a resident at Swan House in Carroll. She then moved into St. Anthony Nursing Home in Carroll in 2014. Lucille died there on April 18, 2016 at the age of 88 years.

"Julie and family, I am so glad I had the opportunity to know and care for your mother. What a sweetheart, and I loved her sense of humor and the little giggle shed do when amused. Everyone at Swan loved her! Despite the sadness and difficulty of her illness, and even though we all rejoice in her newfound peace, I am sure this is a sad time for you, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Connie"
