Lucille was born October 5, 1940 in Conrad, Montana to Everett and Ruth 
Goodheart. She has two brothers, Dale and Chuck Goodheart, both of Montana. In 
1961, Lucille married Roger Ostlund in Tolley, ND. In 1967, they moved from 
North Dakota to Anchorage, Alaska as Roger had begun a 31-year career with 
Shell Oil. In those 31 years, they moved many times. Relocating to Ventura, 
CA, then Taft, CA, back to Anchorage then on to Cameroon, Africa, Huntington 
Beach, CA, Bakersfield, CA, New Orleans, LA, and finally back to Bakersfield 
where they retired.

During those years, Lucille held many jobs and had many interests. She worked 
in child care, and as nursing assistant. Lucille held the distinction of being 
one of the first Certified Nurses Aides in the State of California. She loved 
caring for people, and devoted herself to her patients. In addition to all 
this, she raised three children and was a devoted wife. She enjoyed many 
hobbies: including painting, knitting, crochet, needlepoint, reading, cooking, 
travel, her Shih Tzu dogs, crossword puzzles, and of course her bowling. Most 
recently, she was a member of the "Getaway's" bowling team, the members of 
which have been very supportive of Lucille in her illness, changing the name 
of their team to "Lucy's Bubbies."

Lucille had several constants in her life. Most important to her was her 
husband, and best friend, Roger. They were the best of friends, and cared 
deeply for each other. Lucille nursed Roger during his bout with cancer, and 
he credits her with saving his life. They shared everything, the best of times 
and when times were rough. They were a team, supporting each other, and their 
love has been an inspiration to all. Lucille was a very loving mother, who 
always placed her family's welfare ahead of her own. She loved her children, 
and enjoyed being a mother and a grandmother. She taught her children to share 
her love of God, and to have faith in God's grace. In addition, Lucille was a 
great friend. She made many good friends over the years, and held them as dear 
as her family. She shared herself with her friends, her joys and her sorrows. 

Lucille was steadfast in her devotion to others, and loved life, and was 
devoted to God. Her family, friends, and all that have come to know her will 
miss Lucille. Her strong will and determination, her warmth and love, her joy 
in life will be a constant inspiration.

Lucille is survived by her husband, Roger Ostlund; sons, Joel and Paul Ostlund 
and their wives, Nancy and Nicola, her daughter, Dawnett Lanson, and her 
husband Anthony, and her grandchildren, James, Nick, Erik, Adam, Brent, and 
Amanda. She is survived by her brothers, Dale and Chuck, and many nieces and 
nephews.
