Lucille Bertha Hoyt, 87, Manly, died Saturday, Sept. 15, 2001, at the
Lutheran Retirement Home in Northwood.

Funeral services were held Tuesday at the Bethel United Methodist Church in
Manly with Rev. Robert Cumings officiating.  Burial was in the Manly Cemetery.

Lucille Bertha Hoyt was born on June 10, 1914, in rural Manly, the daughter
of William and Bertha (Cookman) Gallion.  She attended and received her
education in the Manly School system, graduating from Manly High School in
1932.  Lucille also attended Hamilton Business College in Mason City.

After completing her education, Lucille worked as a bookkeeper for various
companies in the north Iowa area. She married John Jerry Hoyt on Dec. 31,
1943, in Grand Rapids, MN.  He preceded her in death on Nov. 20, 1970.
In 1948, she began helping her husband as bookkeeper in their family owned
business the Hoyt Repair Company in Manly, and after her husband's death
she continued in the family business and also operated a small farm with
her son, Byron until 1993, when she retired due to ill health.

She enjoyed gardening, sewing, quilting, baking cookies, and visiting
with her customers at the Hoyt Repair Company, but her great love and
enjoyment was her family and grandchildren.

Lucille faithfully attended the Bethel United Methodist Church in Manly and
was baptized at the Lutheran Retirement Home in Northwood on July 13, 1997,
by the Rev. Richard Jensen of the United Methodist Church in Northwood.

Left to cherish her memory are her two children, Betty Chapin and her husband Lynn
of Northwood, and Byron Hoyt and his wife Carol of Manly; four grandchildren,
Steven Chapin and his wife Mary of Hampton, and Wendy Chapin Fields and her
husband Ernest of Kansas City, Mo., Bridget Hoyt of West Des Moines, and
Jeremy Hoyt of Des Moines; four great-grandchildren, Michael and Sarah
Chapin, and Derek and Darren Fields; three sisters, Edna Tietz of Manly,
Hazel Vansteenburg and her husband Barton of Battle Lake, MN., and Violet
Vansteen-burg of Manly; as well as other relatives and friends.

Besides her husband and her parents, a brother, Roy Gallion, and a sister,
Mildred Fread, preceded her in death.
