Lucile was baptized May 1945 in the Jack’s Fork River. Her school days were spent with her lifelong friend Jewell of Kansas City, MO, and she graduated from Eminence High School with her Class of 1944. She was employed shortly at Curtis Aircraft Defense Plant in St. Louis, but lived in Eminence during the time Willie was overseas. After the war, Willie and Lucile moved to a farm house in Oregon County. Lucile enjoyed 59 years on the “Hensley” farm, and she left many wonderful memories of those events with her beloved family and friends.

“When I die, I believe that I will go to heaven. I will be united with Willie. I will be happy with my family, his family, and good friends. No worries...just happiness. Isn’t that wonderful to look forward to?” (Lucile F. Hensley, 12-25-2001)
