Notes - Brockly, Lucille Irene
March 19, 1922-March 31, 2013
Dousman, WI – Lucille Irene Brockly passed away March 31, 2013 at the Masonic Health Care Center in Dousman, WI. She was a resident at the Masonic Village on the Square, Dousman, since June 2006. Lucille was born on March 19, 1922 to Chester and Minnie (Wunnenberg) McKeown in Yarmouth, IA. She married Donald R. Hedges on Oct. 9, 1943 in Bloomington, IN. Together they ran the D&L Drive-In in Darien, WI from 1953 to 1966. They divorced in 1979. In 1983 she married Frank (Joe) Brockly of rural Beloit, WI. Lucille got her private pilot’s license late in life and really loved flying. She also enjoyed “hanger talk” with other pilots at her retirement home. She encouraged all she met to decide what you want in life and got for it, or as she would say “Do it, do it!”
Lucille is survived by her sister, Evelyn Thompson of Burlington, IA.; daughters, Linda Hedges of Madison WI, and Edna Hiltner, son-in-law Bill Hiltner of Shorewood, WI; grandchildren, John Ehringer, Rhys Hiltner and Elsa Hiltner; grandson-in-law, Carl Shook Great-grandson, Alonzo Shook, and a nephew, Lee Thompson. She was preceded in death by Don, Joe, and nephew, Alan Thompson.
A celebration of Lucille’s life will be held at the Masonic Village on the Square, Dousman, WI, on Friday, April 5, 2013, at 2:30 p.m. Private burial service at Darien Cemetery.
Lucille’s family requests that in lieu of other expression of sympathy that you enjoy pursuing your own goal – “Do it!”
Betzer Funeral Home is serving the family.
