Lucille E. Johnston, 73, of Valencia died peacefully at her home Tuesday with her family by her side after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born in Pittsburgh, Dec. 13, 1935, to Wallace and Helen (Stewart) Nobbs.

Lucy was a member of Holy Sepulcher Roman Catholic Church, helped with Meals on Wheels, participated in the Silver Sneakers at the Ice Connection and was a member of the Red Hat Ladies, where she enjoyed monthly luncheons and bus trips to see shows or visit casinos.

She enjoyed bingo, bowling and spending time with her friends, family and her two dogs. Every Thursday was shopping day for Lucy and her best friend, Marion.

Once she was done raising her children, she enjoyed spending her leisure time reading and having her glass of wine. Lucy loved her grandchildren and spent countless hours attending their school activities and sports activities.
