She went on to further her education at Gorham State Teachers College, and upon completion of her studies in 1952, taught school for a year in Belfast, Maine. She then moved to Massachusetts, and began teaching the second grade at the L.H. Coffin School in Marblehead, Mass.  Lucille would remain a teacher at that school for 36 years until her retirement in 1989. She enjoyed working with children, and especially enjoyed playing the piano and singing with her students. After retirement, she went on several vacations and enjoyed time spent visiting her family and friends in her home. She also frequently traveled back to Rockland, to spend time with family there.
