She was born February 11, 1927 in Central City, Nebraska, the eldest of 4 daughters born to Howard “Ted” Martin and Margaret Anne Franssen Weeks. She grew up in Central City. After graduating from Central City High School, she got a job working for the US Army in Washington DC during World War II.

In the mid-1950's, she moved to Granger, Utah and began working for Albertson’s Grocery Store.
Eventually she met the love of her life, Charles Ronald Egan. She married Chuck on January 19, 1965 in Granger, Utah. They soon moved to West Jordan, and in the mid-1980's she switched to work at Food 4 Less. She was a constant friendly face to many shoppers over her many years of service at the grocery store.
Lucille and Chuck had many adventures. Along with their children, they enjoyed riding dirt bikes and fishing. She was very supportive of their participation in the Bee’s Motorcycle Club, and spent many fun weekends watching motorcyclers try to acend the mountain they called “The Widowmaker”.
