  First Profession Motherhouse Waterdown, Ontario Sister Lucille Goetz, SSND, died at Notre Dame Convent, Waterdown, Ontario on January 13, 2011 in her 75th year as a School Sister of Notre Dame. She would have turned 102 on January 21st. Sister was predeceased by her parents Charles and Fridolina (Saras) Goetz, her brothers, Walter, Arthur, Charles and Vincent and her sisters, Clara Bortz, Emma Kirby, Elizabeth Gartland and Anne Goetz. She is lovingly remembered by the members of her religious community, her devoted nieces, nephews, and friends. After graduating as a Registered Nurse in 1929 from St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, Sister Lucille nursed in Kalamazoo, Michigan for a brief time and then returned to St. Mary's Hospital. When Sister Lucille entered the candidature in Waterdown in 1934, she was placed in charge of the Motherhouse infirmary. For the next 22 years Sister Lucille devoted herself wholeheartedly to the care of the sick and elderly Sisters. In 1956 she assumed the duties of nurse at St. Agatha Orphanage. Later, she was appointed administrator of Notre Dame of St. Agatha. When Sister Lucille returned to the Motherhouse in 1967, she had several administrative responsibilities. Throughout her years Sister Lucille maintained an interest in current happenings. Reading the newspaper each morning was part of her daily routine. Until few years ago she was an avid bridge player. With her sharp memory and her hearty chuckle Sister Lucille would relate entertaining stories of years past. She welcomed everyone with her warm smile. (School Sisters of Notre Dame, Canadian Province) Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord! Cemetery, Gate, North America, Halton Municipality, and Gate Cemetery. 1909.
