Lucille Weatherbee passed away in Commerce, Texas, on March 12, 2011, at the age of 89. She was born on May 3, 1921, to John and Lona Follis Weatherbee.

Lucille was a homemaker. She was a lifetime lover of sports. She supported the Commerce little league baseball program for many years and knew all the players and their families. She was a true fan of the East Texas State University Lion athletic teams. She rarely missed a game. She enjoyed taking photos and making scrapbooks of her favorite players and teams.

Once she completed the outfit, she would find a worthy owner for each special doll.
