WALTHAM Lucille Addie Jordan, 78, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 1, 2014 at home surrounded by her family. She was born March 17, 1935 in Waltham, the daughter of Newell, Sr. and Mercy (Fox) Hardison.
She attended the Waltham grammar school and graduated from Ellsworth High School in 1953 where she was a member of the National Honor Society. She was an amazing woman who raised five mama’s boys, worked at Stratton’s, delivered mail, picked potatoes and most memorable of all she cooked for 30 plus years at Cave Hill School. Her love for all children was abundant. Lucille could be found at camp during the summer for the last 50 years with her family on Molasses Pond. She always enjoyed having all the family near and their morning coffee/breakfasts together. She was “One of a Kind”; she loved her family and was a true Boston Red Sox fan. If a game was on, she was watching. A special “Thank You” to her friend and chauffer, Juanita Wilbur. She always enjoyed the girls day out to lunch, or for appointments and of course, BINGO.
