Lucile cared deeply about women’s health and worked for Planned Parenthood in Seattle and Engenderhealth, a global woman’s health organization, during her lifetime. She was committed to helping women who didn’t have the resources that she was lucky to have and moved by the stories of our families. Lucile chose to make Mary's Place the beneficiary of her IRA upon her death. We are inspired by Lucile’s passion and grateful for her generous donation that will help women, children and families on their journey out of homelessness.
