Long may you run

People like Lucille Eckhoff.

She has taken 94 years of life in stride.

She’s independent and considerate.

“It’s your life, you can do what you want,”she says. “Sometimes if they [six children] want me to do something, I listen to it. But then when they’re gone, I do what I want to.”

She’s come full circle to see her six kids become parents and grandparents.

For Christmas, she hosted 11 of her 13 grandchildren for the annual breakfast in Allison. A total of 42 family members showed up.

And three days prior to that, 20 of her clan celebrated her 94th birthday.
