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.
