Obituary

Luceil Phyllis Dallmann was born July 2, 1932, in Cosmos Township, Meeker County, Minnesota, the daughter of Harlow and Clara (Beske) Reinke. She was baptized on July 31, 1932, at Peace Lutheran Church in Cosmos, and confirmed in her faith there on May 5, 1946. Luceil grew up in Cosmos Township, and graduated from the Litchfield High School.  

On April 29, 1960, Luceil was united in marriage to Eugene Dallmann at Peace Lutheran Church in Cosmos. Their marriage was blessed with two sons, Mark and Bradley. Lucy and Gene made their home in East Lake Lillian Township southeast of Lake Lillian where they raised their family and farmed. Lucy loved her role as housewife and mother while helping with the farming operation. In 1989, they retired from farming, and moved into Cosmos. When Luceil needed additional daily care, she moved to Ecumen of Litchfield, and eventually into Meeker Manor. Lucy and Gene had shared 55 years of marriage when Gene passed away December 8, 2015.

Luceil was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Cosmos throughout her lifetime. While on the farm, she loved raising chickens. She enjoyed gardening, and making ceramics at Mary’s Ceramics. Luceil liked to go bowling, and participated in leagues in Cosmos and Lake Lillian. She also liked going to the casino. Her family and friends were very important to her, and she enjoyed spending time with them. Each time she could, Lucy went with Eugene to their granddaughters’ high school sporting events.
