Lucille Cast

Lucille Eva Cast, age 89, of Peotone, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 5, 2019 at home following declining health and battling Alzheimer’s disease.

She was born on July 31, 1929 in Indiana, the daughter of Clem and Bessie (Baker) Dennis.  Lucille was a homemaker who enjoyed cooking, crafting, playing cards, and camping.  After her late husband, Bill, retired they went on the road to enjoy their passion for motor home camping.  Her greatest pleasure in life came from her family and friends.  Most of all she loved being a Grandma.
