Lucille McDermott Goode, 99 years old, went to be with her Lord and Saviour on December 17, 2021. She was born on December 4, 1922, in Cameron, Texas, and grew up there. Lucille went to Texas Woman's University. While there she met a handsome Aggie named Mark Goode, Jr., on a blind date, and they married eight months later. During World War II she spent time with Mark (and Army officer) when she could, and finished her degree in library science. She was a librarian at University Park Elementary School and Dallas Public Library. When her children were born she devoted herself full time to caring for them. She was active in the PTO at what was then Stonewall Jackson Elementary, as well as her TWU alumnae group, and her church, Northridge Presbyterian.
