May 9, 1927 — April 24, 2015
Lucille Lindblom, 87, of Fergus Falls, died Friday, April 24, 2015, at PioneerCare in Fergus Falls.
Lucille Louise Rix was born on May 9, 1927 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, the daughter of Lloyd and Jennie (Zimmer) Rix. She grew up in Aastad Township and attended school at District 118. After receiving her education, she worked at Scott's Dime Store in Fergus Falls at the lunch counter.
While attending a dance in Foxhome, Lucille met Harold Lindblom, and they were later married on September 14, 1947 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. Lucille and Harold were blessed with four sons.
Lucille worked with Harold in the family's construction business, assisting with painting and staining. Most of all, Lucille cherished the time she was able to spend at home raising her children.
