Lucille Holten
d. November 12, 2019
Lucille Holten, age 98, passed away Tuesday, November 12, 2019, at Luther Haven Nursing Home in Montevideo, Minnesota. Lucille Orabelle Stone was born on April 24, 1921, the daughter of Abraham and Alice (Tingeluf) Stone, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She grew up in Minneapolis and attended school there graduating from South High School with the class of 1939 and continued her education by attending nursing school at General Hospital in Minneapolis which is now Hennepin County Medical Center.
Lucille was united in marriage to Herman Holten on January 9, 1942 in Minneapolis. The couple first made their home in Onamia and then New London while they started their family. They were blessed with four children, Thomas, Nancy, Cort and Jane. In 1950, Lucille and Herman moved to Montevideo and soon Lucille began working at the Montevideo Hospital as an RN. She loved her work as a nurse and dedicated 33 years to caring for others at the hospital.
Lucille was a member of the Minnesota Nursing Association and volunteered for the Red Cross. She was a faithful member of the First Congregational United Church of Christ and was involved in many ways with her church family.
Lucille enjoyed crafts of all kinds, including quilting and needlework. She loved playing cards, especially Bridge and she made Christmas and birthdays very special. After retiring, Lucille and Herman spent most of their summers at the cabin, gardening, entertaining family and friends and enjoying the quiet beauty of the lake.
