Lucille Floss (nee Hillock)

<p>Lucille Floss (nee Hillock), of Grand Island, entered into rest November 13, 2019 at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital, after a brief illness. Wife of Richard Floss. Mother of Rene (Lars) Nilsson, Rustie (Steven) Dimitriadis and Cheyenne (Dugald) Campbell. Grandmother of Karin, Anna, and Alexander Nilsson, David, Jonathan, and Rachel Dimitriadis, and Luma Campbell. Sister of Lawrence (Dawn) Hillock, Robert (Cynthia) Hillock, John (Linda) Hillock, Linda (Harold) Clark, Randon (Susan) Hillock, Hilary Balderas and the late Editha (survived by husband John) Kapoor. Daughter of the late John and Beatrice Hillock. Lucy lived all but three years of her life on Grand Island, but enjoyed time with family in Chicago, Kansas City, Phoenix, Las Vegas, the Bahamas, and Scotland. One of her favorite places on earth was Allegany State Park, where her family spent many wonderful summers. As a young woman, she attended cosmetology school and enjoyed synchronized swimming, listening to music, and riding motorcycles. Lucy loved gardening, bird watching, metal detecting, genealogy, bonfires, Bills games (when they won!), Agatha Christie mysteries, and watching NCIS and Hallmark Christmas movies with her husband. She passed on a love of reading, board games, and garage sales to her three daughters. Lucy had a creative side, which she expressed through poetry, embroidery, crocheting, tie dye, painting, and other crafts. She was an amazing cook, often perfecting recipes until they suited her. She was endlessly generous and loved celebrating holidays with her family. She loved the smell of lilacs, the company of her kitties, and was rarely without a cup of tea. This wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend will be dearly missed and never forgotten. Friends may call Friday (Dec 6) 4-7 PM at the Kaiser Funeral Home, 1950 Whitehaven Rd., Grand Island, NY 14072. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Saturday (Dec 7) at 10 AM at St. Stephens Church. Flowers gratefully accepted. Monetary donations may also be made in Lucys memory to the St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital or the Alzheimers Association of WNY.</p>
