Thelma "Lucille"
Fourman
Thelma “Lucille” Fourman, 91, passed away peacefully on October 14,
2014, in Sedona, Arizona. Lucille was born in Fletcher, Ohio and spent
85 years of her life in her beloved New Madison. She moved to
Sedona, Arizona 5 years ago to be closer to her family.
Lucille, was preceded in death by her husband, Cecil; parents, Claude
and Tress Crickmore; sister, Pearl Eley; and brothers, Clarence and
Clyde Crickmore. She is survived by her daughter, Denise,
son-in-law, Patrick; granddaughter, Meagan and her husband , Rob; and 2
granddaughters, Kalyn and Danica. She also left behind
nieces: Janice Riegle, Phyllis Eley, Diana Sanderson, Barbara
Watson, Claudia Crickmore and a nephew, Gary Crickmore; and many grand-
and great grand-nieces and nephews.
Lucille was truly a “figure” in New Madison. She was active in
the community, a 50 year member of the Eta Pi Kappa Sorority, and
working on the school calendar for many years. She loved and
participated in the School and Darke County fairs. She drove the school
bus for 17 years, and worked on the election board for 40 plus
years. Lucille was also a member of the Eagles where she loved to
go and dance, and play her beloved card game Euchre. Lucille
absolutely loved music, which continued to the end of her life.
Many may have known she played the piano, but may not have known she
played the violin as well.
Lucille really enjoyed traveling. She traveled to California
twice a year for over 30 years, which included every Christmas.
Some of these trips were car trips with her friends, to places such as
Branson, New York, Kentucky, Michigan, Virginia, Las Vegas to name a
few. One of Lucille’s favorite trips was her trip to Hawaii, with
a stop at Pearl Harbor where her husband Cecil had been stationed
during WWII. The places she visited provided her with
opportunities to be with family, friends and always meet new people.
Lucille will be missed by her family and friends.
A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, November 1,
2014 at 10:00 am at the New Madison United Methodist Church with Pastor
Carol Duffield officiating. Friends and family may visit on Saturday at
the New Madison United Methodist Church from 9 am until time of
service. Burial will follow in the Greenmound Cemetery. Services
