Quotation
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything, Vincent van Gogh
Lucie was a vital part of the Ann and Rob’s family. The guidance, care, and love they gave her no doubt laid the principles of life that she so gracefully followed. In many ways, she would have considered herself fortunate to be part of such a caring family, living what many would call an ordinary life. But as she grew up, took various steps in life, and achieved her goals, Lucie also shared extraordinary gifts of friendship, care and knowledge with others. She helped many in her chosen career to find fulfillment in their lives, just as she did in hers.
Life can be judged in many ways—things like status, the position someone holds in society, and other norms we tend to use to evaluate people. But none of these really matter much, because it’s family and the people you meet along life’s journey who are most important. Lucie was one of those people who enriched lives time and again simply by being herself, listening, offering support and friendship, and giving advice and encouragement when it was needed.
Quotation
Kindness is the oil that takes the friction out of life, unknown author.
Lucie consistently demonstrated all of these qualities. From her school days in Cohuna to the career she pursued, it was her kindness and caring approach that meant so much and brought great results to everyone she touched.
A race well run
Life’s work well done
Life’s victory won
Now come with the rest.

Much love,

Dear Ann, Tim, Matt and families, sincerest condolences on the passing of Lucie. I’ll remember her fondly for the lovely person she was. Rest peacefully Lucie.
Sincere condolences to all for your profound loss. I had the pleasure of working with Lucie at SWBIRS when as a young Speech Pathologist she displayed a wisdom, knowledge and capacity to authentically connect with everyone in a manner well beyond her years and clinical experience. Her brilliant mind and genuine compassion for others led her to achieve so much in her career, leaving a legacy and making a real difference. As a friend I will always remember her wit, humour, and ability to listen and respond in a manner that made you feel you really mattered. She will be loved and remembered by many.
Ann & families,
Was so shocked to read of your beautiful Lucie’s passing.
Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
Love Jan, Shane, Trent, Ebony & Cody Storm and extended families xx
To Mark, Ann and families,
I was one of the many who had the privilege and joy of working with Lucie at SWBIRS, and smile as I remember her with much fondness. My thoughts are with you all as you mourn her passing and celebrate her rich life.
Over here in eastern Nepal, a long way from Cohuna, there’s a group of women whose lives were so enriched by meeting beautiful Lucie. Her light, that radiance that everyone associates with Lucie was so apparent. It won’t surprise anyone that there was lots of laughter, rueful smiles, and a strong sense of shared humanity. We are grateful that our lives were touched by Lucie. Who she was speaks volumes about the people around her. Thank you for sharing her with us. We send our heartfelt love to her ama, Annie, her dear Mark, her brothers and her friends. She’ll keep shining.
Love from Wendy, Kopila, Janice and all at Samunnat, Nepal.
I was so incredibly fortunate to work alongside Lucie when she visited clients in Deni. She was always kind and knowledgeable and considered in everything she did at work. I valued that relationship and enjoyed the friendship we then developed. I am so very sad and so terribly sorry for all she has been through and for how difficult this has and will be for you all. Lucie was one of the very best speechies and we always felt grateful to work alongside.
Dear Mark, Ann, Tim, Matt and families.
Thinking of you all at such a sad time of Lucie’s passing.
Lucie was a very dear, loyal and true friend to me.
I have so many precious memories that I will always cherish.
She truly was one of a kind and will be dearly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Mark, Mrs Shanahan and family
We first met Lucie about twenty years ago when our daughter Anna and her husband Andy first moved to Albury and lived next door to her in Lavington. Over the years we met Lucie on numerous occasions and thoroughly enjoyed her company.
How proud you must all be of Lucie who meant so much to so many through her work and socially.
May the many happy memories of Lucie bring comfort and peace to you all.
Please accept our most sincere condolences.
