Lucile Stewart, 85, passed away September 20, 2012 at the Humboldt Care Center North in Humboldt, Iowa.  Burial will be in Hillside Cemetery in Julesburg, Colorado.  The Mason-Lindhart Funeral Home of Humboldt, Iowa is assisting the family.
Mary Lucile Stewart was born August 14, 1927 in Kingsley, Iowa, the third of four children born to Owen LeRoy Dugan and Mary Lucile (Fitzpatrick) Dugan.  She lived on the family farm northwest of Kingsley, attended country school, and graduated from Kingsley High School in 1944.

For a short time after graduation she worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D. C. and then taught for a year in a one-room country school near Wanblee, South Dakota.  With her mother and stepfather she followed the harvest from the Dakotas to Arizona ending in California where she found work in the emerging frozen food industry as a secretary and accountant.
When Lucile’s stepfather died she took on the responsibility of providing a home for her mother.  Lucile and her mother moved to Golden, Colorado where Lucile continued her work as a secretary and accountant.
Lucile married John Stewart (also of Golden, CO) in Boulder City, Nevada June 21, 1961.  John owned and operated employment agencies in the Denver area. After their marriage, Lucile managed one of the employment offices.  After John died in 1971, Lucile returned to her work as secretary/accountant at the same time earning her license as a real estate agent and broker.
In 1979 Lucile and her mother moved to Julesburg, CO where Lucile worked for Cumming Reality, managed her investment properties, and continued to care for her mother who passed away in 1996.  Lucile enjoyed her retirement in Julesburg until moving to Rolfe, Iowa in 2009.  In 2011 she moved to the Humboldt Care Center.
