She was born on November 27, 1916 to Jens and Karoline (Matsen) Wilsen in Apple River Township, Wisconsin. Lucille was very proud of her heritage; both of her parents were born in Denmark. Lucille fondly remembers all the changes she had seen in the last 100 years, including walking or taking a horse and carriage to school, her family having one of the first automobiles in the Amery area, and taking train trips to St. Paul with her sister to watch airplanes come and go.
