OOPS, yes it was Wilcox, sorry about that mix up.
She also published a couple of books on her French ancestors, I think.
I think of all that she did and could do, though I do believe that cooking was her greatest love.

I loved this story and felt I had to respond, so I joined your site just so I could.
I also knew Lucille, but never met her in real life. I met her online and we were friends for several years. This probably was in the mid 90's if I remember right. She became a teacher to me also, but not in games, she was very into Corel Draw, she had bought the program and taught herself everything there was to know (almost) about drawing templates and making graphic layouts to print out. At that time I was a member of a computer crafts group on what is now Yahoo Groups, but at that time was onelist. She joined the list I was on and started sending in really nice layouts that we could print and put together, I was mesmerized and probably asked a million and one questions on how she did some of the layouts. I was doing my own layouts, but mine were crude compared to hers. At the time I met her I was using a different graphic program to make layouts with, so she talked me into buying Corel and told me if I would buy it, she would teach me how to use it. How could I pass up an offer like that? Actually there were several people that she taught the program to. We became quite good at creating "gifts" with the computer and our printers. She had mastered making box and bag templates and shared that knowledge with us with a course of lessons that we were sent each week in an email and then we had to complete it and send it back to her for grading. She was a tough teacher that demanded perfection, some got it some did not.
I never saw the game playing side of her, so your story was a surprise to me.
But I do find it interesting that you are a chef, and wanted to let you know that she also was quite a gourmet cook and also taught cooking classes. She loved Julia Child, and patterned her cooking style after her. I think Lucille had written and published a cookbook. In fact if you google her name Lucille Rock Wilson, you will find several sites where she had submitted at least one of her own recipes.
I just wanted to thank you for sharing the story and let you know that she did continue on with computers, although you were right in the fact that she was not a programmer. Just a very determined self taught computer user.
