Burdorf from Gibbon, Minnesota at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Courtland by Pastor E.J.A. Marxhausen. Together they raised four children, Roger Elmer, Bruce William, Bonnie Jean, and Dale Walter. Lucille was a good wife and mother. Besides raising their children and caring for their home, Lucille did the book work for their Sodding Business. Lucille loved to do crafts, and paint ceramics. She especially enjoyed making porcelain dolls and collecting Götz dolls from Germany. Lucille loved country and old tyme music. She enjoyed watching television, and especially loved cheering for the Minnesota Twins and Wild. She never missed a ball game that New Ulm High School played when her son Bruce was playing from 64-65. Later in life she enjoyed cheering for for her grandson Brian play hockey from 2002-03. She was a devout and dedicated member of Redeemer Lutheran Church in New Ulm. Although Lucille lived a long and beautiful life, she will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Countless cherished memories will forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who were blessed to have her in their lives. Blessed be those memories.
