\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Lucille Ann Hans, 85, of Forest City, died Sunday, June 28th, at Forest City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 39 years, Walter Hans, who died on July 27, 2001. She was a member of Ascension Parish, Forest City.<\/p>\n
\nBorn and raised in Forest City, Lucille was the daughter of the late Valentine and Frances Tedesco Swegel. Affectionately known as Luc, she grew up in the area known as Cowtown as one of nine children and the youngest of seven girls. She shared a special bond with her sisters, who were known to be inseparable. As a teenager, Lucille was known as the rebel of the siblings. One of her favorite places to spend time was the Sugar Bowl, the local soda shop, where everyone knew she was the owner of the first booth.<\/p>\n
\nShe graduated from Forest City High School and, in 1959, enlisted in the U.S. Army, where she served as a nurse in the Women\u2019s Army Corps. While stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, she met her husband, Walter. Following her discharge from the Army, the couple briefly lived in Charleroi before returning to Forest City, where they began their life together and raised their family.<\/p>\n
\nLucille worked her entire career in Forest City, where she was employed by several local businesses, including Nudelman\u2019s Clothing Store, Kelly\u2019s Pharmacy, and Red Cross Pharmacy. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Lucille took great pride in her family and especially cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren, whom she loved immensely. She found great joy in cooking for those she loved, enjoyed trips to the casino and playing cards with family, and was an avid reader, often finishing multiple books in a week.<\/p>\n
\nShe is survived by her daughter, Tammy Cimoch, and her husband, Edward, Vandling; her son, Jason Hans, and his wife, Therese, Binghamton; five grandchildren, Sebastian and Sabrina Cimoch, and Gabriella, Ruby, and Olivia Hans; her sister, Frances Beers; her brother, James Swegel, and his wife, Roseann; and numerous nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n
\nShe was also preceded in death by six siblings, Valentine Swegel Jr., Marie Leonard, Angie Svecz, Rose Dunn, Annie Lang, and Theresa Jones.<\/p>\n
