Lucille VanZaelen's Obituary
In loving memory of Lucille VanZaelen 91, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2018. Beloved wife of the late Pierre, dear mother of Jane (Mario) Soresi, Paul VanZaelen, and Kim (Ron) Ouellette. She was very proud of her four grandchildren Jenifer (Shawn) Keller, Nicole (fiancée Evan Whiteaker) Soresi, Marc (Sara) Soresi and Jason Ouellette. She had two great grandchildren Addison and Lana. She is survived by her sister Dorothy Socia. Lucille married the love of her life Pierre VanZaelen in 1952; they were inseparable for 63 years. They loved to travel by car exploring the countryside. A Sunday drive could last all day. Their honeymoon in Florida led them to many vacations and retirement in Fort Myers. Lucille loved to play cards, Yahtzee, Uno and was hard to beat in a game of backgammon, attend community social gatherings and dance with her husband. She carried herself with style and dignity. Her smile and wisdom will be missed.
