She attended country school Eldorado #9 until the family moved to Lucylle's grandmother's farm north of Van Horne when she was in fourth grade. She graduated from Van Horne High School class of 1947. Lucylle studied at ISTC, Iowa State Teachers College (now known as UNI) for two quarters as was required to get a country school teaching certificate. She then taught in Tama County country schools, first at Tama #2 and then Oneida #2. February 26, 1950 she married Darwin N. Struve. They reared six children. She is survived by her husband, Darwin, Van Horne; her children, Mary (Laverne) Halstead, Vinton, Helen Joy Nicholson, Cedar Rapids, Tom (Nancy) Struve, Palo, Betty Feinberg, Cedar Rapids, Jay (Ann) Struve, Iowa City, and Janet (Marvin) Moffitt, Vinton.

She was an early supporter of the Old Creamery Theatre Company when it was in Garrison and continued to support the Theatre after it moved to Amana. Lucylle was an avid book reader, encouraging her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to READ. She had a passion for high school and college wrestling-attending meets, watching on TV and listening on the radio. In addition she was an eternally optimistic Cubs fan. Through the years she has attended countless sporting events, music and theatrical performances. She was very proud to be the parent, grandparent or great grandparent cheering from the stands. She loved when her family was all together no matter how loud or crazy it got. Sitting around the dining room table with everyone telling stories and laughing was one of her most enjoyable moments. A memorial fund has been established for Salem United Methodist Church in Van Horne and the Van Horne Library. Published in Cedar Valley Daily Times on Mar. 17, 2014
