AUBURN – Lucille M. (Collet) Grandmaison, 68, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 5, comfortably in her home.

She married her true love, Albert R. Grandmaison, on Sept. 5, 1959, and they raised two daughters.

She was employed at Service Merchandise, achieving “super star” status. She retired due to illness in 1986.

She was an avid bowler at Spare Time Recreation and accrued many awards. Her passions were being outdoors and gardening.

She was a member of the Auburn Catholic community at Sacred Heart Parish.

She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Albert R.
