Lucille S. (Godin) Duckless of Newport Center, VT was born on February 12, 1929 to Levi and Mabel Godin.  She was the youngest of 10 children and grew up in North Troy, VT.  She married her husband and soulmate Harold V. Duckless on July 3, 1954 and was a wonderful mother to Brian and Darlene Duckless.

In her amazing life, she was a devout catholic and enjoyed going to weekly mass.  She owned and operated Duckless' Store and gas station with her husband in Newport Center.  On her days off (which were few) she enjoyed many activities with friends that included snowmobiling on Sundays where Apricot Brandy was always on hand to help keep warm, Thursday night card games and also enjoyed watching her son play drums in a Country Western band.  Once retired from the store in 1983, traveled frequently to visit family members and to explore many wonderful places in the US and to some various islands, especially where there were casinos.  There was also a yearly Godin family reunion
held at her family home for many years where her chicken pie was always on the menu. Family was always so important to her and she was loved by so many and will be deeply missed. In her last few years, before moving to the Bel-Aire Nursing home in 2023, she lived at home with her daughter Darlene who provided excellent care and allowed her the safety of living at home.  Just this month she turned 96 and was excited to have hit this milestone in her life.

She is predeceased by her husband Harold, her son Brian, her daughter Darlene, her parents and all 9 of  her siblings.  Surviving family members include her daughter-in-law, Gail Duckless, Grandson's, Jeffrey Duckless and his wife Kimberly, Jason Duckless, Jonathan Duckless, Cody Duckless and his wife Jessica and her great grandchildren, Colin Duckless, Caleb Duckless, Aquilla Duckless, Calvin
Duckless and Brandon Greene. Also a sister-in-law Louise Duckless, a brother in-law, Robert Duckless and many nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held in the Spring at Newport Center Cemetery.  Should friends desire, contributions in her memory may be made to St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, 191 Clemont Terrace, Newport, VT  05855.  On-line condolences at curtis-britch.com.
