In Loving Memory
Lucille B. Paul
6/8/1921 - 7/27/2012





Lucille Catherine (Bradley) Paul, wife of the Harrison Parker Paul, died July 27, 2012 at the hospice unit of Waldo County General Hospital.  She was born in Searsport, Maine on June 8, 1921, the daughter of Ralph and Fannie (Nickerson) Bradley.  She was a graduate of Searsport High School in the class of 1937, and attended Bangor Maine School of Commerce.  Lucille was a devoted and active member of the First Church in Belfast.  She lived her life in accordance with her belief that a friend is what the heart needs all the time and she was a friend to many including the High Street Group Home and the Marsh Road Group Home.  Lucille was well known in the community as a prolific note-sender and visitor to those in need.  Her children would like all to know that she was a remarkable mother whose strong values, standards and convictions shaped their lives.


Lucille is survived by three sons and daughters-in-law, Wayne and Linda Paul of Belfast, Jeffrey and Joyce Paul of Sammamish, Washington, Gregory and Valerie Paul of Saint Rose, Louisiana, and a daughter, Andrea Paul of New Gloucester, Maine; her beloved grandchildren, Tonya, Nicole, Casey, Nathan, Amy, Lorelei and Austin Paul; great grandchildren, Mason and Griffin Hurd; two sisters, Marguerite Moody and her husband Leroy, and Ethel Moody as well as Emery Taylor; and several dear nieces and nephews.   She was pre-deceased by her parents, husband, and sisters Patricia Knox Nichols and Ruth Taylor and infant brother William.


Family and friends are invited to gather from 2-4 pm on Tuesday July 31, 2012 at the First Church in Belfast,  where a memorial service will held on Wednesday August 1, 2012 at 11 am.


In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the First Church in Belfast, 8 Court Street, Belfast, ME 04915.

RIP Lucille. You were a dear friend, a wonderful role model, and a mom and grandmother to some amazing children and grandkids. I will never forget you bringing back two coffees and a sack of donuts for Ricky and I as we "slaved away" painting your house on Congress Street. You didn't have the heart to tell us to get moving a little faster (but Greg sure did!) Your friend, Ed

Dear Andrea, Jeff, Greg, Wayne and families, I was so sorry to hear about your mother. Losing your mother, especially one who was such an anchor, is so difficult. She was a very special person and I will miss her! Love, Sharon Goguen

I have fond memories of our family gatherings. All the food that she provided for everyone. The Christmas holidays when we were children. The time that it snowed so hard, that we couldn't get back to Massachusetts and ended up to turn around and come back to there house for several days before we could drive back home. All the good times I had with her children (my cousins). I will truly miss her. I wish I could come to the funeral, but I am unable to get off work. Please pass this on to Wayne, Andrea, Jeff and Greg. Cousin, Elly
