Lucille Freeman was a beautiful, active and vibrant woman who made friends quickly and loved to spend time entertaining her friends and family. She rarely met a stranger. She was a creative artist and liked to paint, sew and cook. She made award-winning dolls and fashionable period clothing for antique dolls. Her Old World cross stitching is treasured by her family as are her delicately hand-stitched quilts. Her primitive oil paintings depicted the beauty of the rural ranching life she experienced. She had a passion for antiques and had an antique store in Brady for many years. She and her husband, H.D. (Jerry) Griffith ranched in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma and also owned the Heart of Texas Livestock Commission Company in Brady. She was active in her children's lives, never missing a dance or piano recital, football game or special event that they had. She was the perennial "Room Mother" at her children's schools. She was proud of being on the Championship Bowling Team in Brady. She was also an avid dancer who taught her grandchildren and great-grandchildren the artistry of the Texas Two-Step as well as the game winning strategies for playing cards and dominoes. Most importantly she modeled resiliency and determination for them. She was a long time member of the First Baptist Church in Brady and then in Eden. In Eden, Texas, she felt blessed to have fifteen wonderful years with her second husband, Don L. Freeman who was a native of Eden and a well-known rancher and farmer.
