Lucille Angela Whitaker, 57

Luci was born in Whitefish on April 8, 1960, and was adopted by Alvin George Naccarato and Lucille Fransis Burlingham. She was raised with two sisters (Angela and Lynda), and a brother (Richard), and later learned that she had three more sisters (Joette, Joy and Janine). Luci was married twice, had three children (Travis, 38; Brandon, 28; and Heather, 27) and eventually five grandchildren (Chloe, 13; David, 5; Vanessa, 4; Elijah, 2; and Sarah, 2).

She held many positions in several companies over the course of her life, including convenience store clerk, waitress and hotel night auditor.

Later in life, Luci learned of the love and grace that her Savior Jesus offers. She studied God’s word and began to understand that her hope could only be found in Christ alone. Because of this we can all have joy, peace and confidence that Luci is walking pain free with Jesus now. She was a member of the Fellowship Alliance Church and was baptized on April 27, 2008. After moving to Idaho, she became a member of Cross Of Christ Lutheran Church.

She loved everyone so much and had a giant heart for people and dogs.

She was preceded in death by her mother (Lucille), father (Alvin), and Angela.

Luci is survived by her son Travis, her son Brandon, and her daughter Heather. She also leaves behind her dog Honey.

Luci was “called home to heaven” at the age of 57 on Sept. 11, 2017.
