Lucille S. Donaldson, age 89 of Plano, Texas, passed away on October 27, 2018. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee on December 13, 1928. Lucille graduated from Memphis Tech High School. She married J.B Donaldson on August 5, 1946, and the two had four children. Lucille was always known to be one of the most selfless people you could ever meet, she had a servant’s heart for sure , using her time to help with grand kids, volunteering , or being caregiver to any one that was in need, definitely a generous soul. She was also known as an incredible cook, having “Spaghetti Sundays” every Sunday with her family, a reflection on her strong Italian heritage. She loved spending time with her cats. Her children would say she was the best mother ever; she will leave a definite void in their lives especially those that were committed to her care these last few years.
Lucille is survived by her children: Mike Donaldson and his wife Cynthia of League City, TX, Miles Donaldson of Plano, TX, Scott Donaldson of Dallas, TX and Terry Schumacher and her Husband Mike of McKinney, TX.
