Born September 14, 1919, in Houston County, Tennessee, she is the daughter of the late J. Ralph and Laura Elizabeth Bush Taylor. She graduated from high school in Erin as Salutatorian. She was a charter member and oldest member of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. Upon high school graduation, Lucille worked at BF Goodrich in Clarksville from 1940-1942, then Montgomery Ward in the credit department. Lucille worked at Ft. Campbell Military Base during World War II. When the war ended, she went back to Montgomery Ward working in the catalog department. She changed jobs, working in the Lebanon office of the U.S. Agriculture and Soil Conservation for 13.5 years from 1952-1965. Meanwhile, Arch had gone back to flying and teaching pilots at the Lebanon Airport. As work at the airport increased, she again changed jobs and “helped Arch” running the office of Agee Flying Service at the Lebanon Airport from 1965-1979.
