Lucille A. (Fisk) Brask went to be with her Lord on Dec. 26, 2023, 2-1/2 months from her 100th birthday.
Lucille was born March 4, 1924, to Lawrence W. and Zatha Belle Fisk at a farm in rural Grantsburg, Wisconsin. She was the oldest of four children. Lucille accepted Jesus as her Savior at age 11 and was baptized and joined Trade Lake Baptist Church in 1938.
Lucille graduated from Frederic High School and then attended nursing school at Bethel College. On Feb. 23, 1946, she married Harland Brask and soon after Harland left for the Army. While her new husband served in occupied Japan, Lucille lived and worked in Pullman, Washington. When Harland returned from Japan, the couple moved to St. Paul, Minnesota. In the years following they raised six children. During the 1950s the family lived on a farm in Wisconsin. In the 1960s the family lived in the Twin Cities. In the 1970s Lucille and Harland moved to Isanti and then Cambridge where they were active at First Baptist Church. After Harland died, Lucille lived in Cambridge until she moved to senior living in Blaine and Coon Rapids.
Lucille devoted her life to her family and her church. She appreciated nature and enjoyed making dolls, cakes of all kinds, gifts and quilts and she crocheted blankets for her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Lucille loved Jesus all of her life. She was also an avid Twins fan.
