Lucille J. Daggett, age 86, of Spring Valley, died December 25, 2019, at Spring Valley Senior Living, where she had resided for a short time.
She was born August 22, 1933, to Albin and Josephine (Kyllo) Hyland in Hayfield, Minn. Lucille attended and graduated from Hayfield High School in 1951. On June 9, 1951, she was united in marriage to Richard Daggett and together they lived on his dad’s farm in Dodge Center, Minn. She worked at the grocery store in Dodge Center until 1959 when they moved to Kasson, Minn., where she was employed at Folkstead Chevrolet as a bookkeeper. A few years later she went to work at the Dodge County Independent. In 1972 they moved to Spring Valley, Minn., where they purchased the Culligan soft water business. Lucille did bookkeeping and office work for the business. Lucille was very active and devoted to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church; she had a deep faith and served on just about every committee, board and council at Our Savior’s. She also started Grace Notes, which sent out notes of support to people in the community. Lucille was also the first woman to serve on the Spring Valley City Council, serving from 1984–1994. She was very active in the Spring Valley VFW and American Legion Auxiliary, where she was a member for almost 40 years. After selling their soft water business she worked part-time at the Coast to Coast, True Value and Ace Hardware store in Spring Valley. She retired on July 26, 2019, after 29 years of employment.
