This is where she met Sidney Horton, Jr., and they were married on May 14, 1960. Lucille lived in Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey for 25 years. She worked as a sales clerk for J.C. Penny’s. In 2002, she moved to Coeur d’Alene to be closer to her oldest son’s family. Lucille is a member of St. John the Baptist Orthodox Church and a member of the 3-C’s Coeur d’Aleers singing group. She enjoyed her friends, movies, bingo, cards, shopping, reading, puzzles, and especially her grandchildren. In seemingly good health, Lucille was taken to the ER on Sunday, February 23rd with chest pain. Determining it was not a heart attack, the doctors did more tests. In the end, Lucille was rushed to KMC Medical Center for emergency surgery, but it was too late. A blood clot had cut off blood supply to her gastrointestinal tract. Lucille reposed surrounded by her loved ones praying at her bedside on Tuesday, February 25th. Lucille is survived by her three sons: Francis “Fr. Gregory” Horton (Cindy) of Moyie Springs, ID, Gregory (Tracy) Horton of Middletown, NJ, and Sidney (Suzie) Horton, III of Hazlet, NJ; nine grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, one brother, Dominic Padovano, and one sister, Celia Lorusso.
O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the souls of Thy departed servants [names] in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which they have committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.
For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants [names], O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.
