CHARDON – V. Lucille (nee Evans) Shanower died Nov. 29, 2015, at the Residence of Chardon.
She was born in Cleveland on May 31, 1916, to Joseph and Adella (nee Grandy) Evans.
Lucille raised three sons with her first husband, Stanley. In all of his business ventures, Lucille stood beside him as partner, always a model of modesty and thrift.
She later pursued a personal goal and became a librarian at Willoughby Public Library. Lucille was attentive to everyone in her life and was a favorite in her residences in Mentor and Winter Haven, Fla. Those who knew her appreciated her wry sense of humor and joined in her easy-going laughter.
She was the last surviving member of Mentor High School’s Class of 1935.
Lucille was preceded in death by husbands Stanley R. Shanower and Rene Cote.
She is mourned by her family, including son James L. (Karen nee Hietanen) and grandchildren Eric and Elizabeth; son Gary L. (Gale nee Bosley) and granddaughter Carol (Charles E. Jr.) Strazinsky, and great-grandchildren, Sophia, Mason, Erika and Toni; and son David L. and grandchildren John and Brian.
They will miss her peace and strength.
The family requests donations be made to Hospice of the Western Reserve, 17876 St. Claire Ave., Cleveland, OH 44110.
Arrangements are being handled by Burr Funeral Home, Chardon.
Disposition of Lucille’s remains will be private.
