Preceded in death in 1987, by A. William (Bill) Hempelmann, her loving husband of 51 years.
Lucy and Bill moved to Seattle in 1950 so Dad could become Regional Manager for Monsanto Chemical Company. They happily raised their family here while enjoying the beauty of Northwest. After Bill's retirement they traveled in Europe and the Holy Land. Lucy's focus always was her family and their well-being. Lucy and Bill were long time members of Christ The King Parish. After Bill's death, Lucy moved to Edmonds and joined Holy Rosary Parish.
We are all very grateful to "A Kind Heart" in Lynnwood for the exceptional and loving care that Mom received the past three years.
