Obituary
Lucile M. Gille, age 99 of Mineral Point, WI formerly of Darlington, WI passed away Monday, August 15, 2016 at Atrium Care Center in Mineral Point. She was born August 5, 1917 in Darlington, WI the daughter of Clell and Ella (Nevels) Miller. Lucile grew up at a time when there was no electricity, back when horses were used for farm work. She had fond memories of her grandfather's fancy horse drawn carriage, as well as memories of attending a one room country school house. She was united in marriage to Lloyd R. Gille on August 1, 1938. Lucile was married to her dancing partner, Lloyd for 70 years. They were such beautiful dancers that they were once written up in the local Republican Journal newspaper as "Darlington's own Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers."Lucile was the matriarch of her family and was always very supportive of her loved ones. She is survived by one daughter: Sonja (Ron) McDonald of Mineral Point; three granddaughters: Susan (Jim) Wolf of Madison, WI, Cyndee Stiefel of Warren, IL, and Sherry (Al) Krmpotich of Gordon, WI; three great-grandchildren: Michelle (Drew) Glowacki, Collin and Brady Krmpotich; and two great great-grandchildren: Clayton and Ellie Glowacki, with another on the way; and nephews Paul Jo White, and Clell White; and nieces Gail Roberts, Leean White, and Brenda Ray. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; three sisters: Zelma Kleinman, Ila White, and Betty Doersam; and one grandson-in-law: Edwin Bendik. Lucile was a delightful conversationalist. She loved music, dance, travel, storytelling, and laughing. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by family and friends. A visitation will be held Saturday, August 20, 2016 from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M. at Erickson Funeral Home (508 Main Street, Darlington.) A Celebration of Life service will be held at 7:00, with Rev. Angela Steinhauer of Darlington United Methodist Church officiating. Interment will be private at a later date.

I will miss my beautiful aunt. So many memories to cherish. Cele once told me that when you reach a certain age, and have time to think, you have the opportunity to relive your life through memories and, for her, it was a beautiful thing. I live that thought. Peace to you Cele.

We'll miss Cele so much. I'm so glad that I got to say Goodbye to her; it meant the world to me. She was the last of the "Miller Girls" - Ila, Betty, Zelma, and Cele. Grandma and Grandpa were so proud of all their girls. Each was special in their own way - Cele would share life stories with us when we visited. She once said that when she dreams, it was of dancing. What wonderful dreams she must have had. A friend of hers told me that everyone watched when she danced, because she & Lloyd "just floated across the floor". Our love and sympathy to Sonja, Susan, Cyndee, and Michelle and all the great and great-great grandchildren; you are left with a very precious legacy.

Susan & Jim and family, We are so sorry for your loss. She must have been a wonderful lady. May all of the great memories you have of her help each of you at this sad time. Unfortunately, a prior commitment will preclude us from joining you at her visitation. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace. Farhad & Kathy Badimassoud
