Lucinda was affiliated with Influent Technologies, and formerly worked for A.J. Weigand, Case Farms, and Speedway.Lucinda was a devoted wife and mother to her family of eight children and her husband, their family and friends. An adventuresome mother, she had a knack for trying new recipes and enjoying herself in culinary pursuits. None of her family and friends could ever remember a guest in her home that ever left hungry. From butter cream pies for her father-in-law to hearty meals for her sons Â? Lucinda delighted in keeping her kitchen a happy place. Beyond her pantry and dinner table, Lucinda worked to make her house her home for all of those whom she loved. Her home was always among the best decorated for Halloween and Christmas. Despite difficult odds mothering eight children Â? Lucinda was proud that her children always had clean clothes going out the door for school or work. All who knew her will remember Lucinda for her servant’s heart Â? always doing good deeds for other people. Despite some health difficulties, no one ever heard her complain Â? and she chose instead to lead a full life complete with smiles and a sharp wit. Those she leaves behind will miss her terribly.

A grandson, Keaton Maturna, and four brothers and sisters, Tammy (Craig) Lemen of Frankford, Indiana, Dwight Frutig and companion Samantha Hammonds of New Philadelphia, Timothy Frutig of Dover, and Danelle (Frank) Richardson Sr. of Dover. Numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins, as well as her mother and father-in-law, Dave Hayhurst and Hilda Kammer Hayhurst of Gnadenhutten, complete the family. Many will mourn Lucinda’s loss Â? but two will especially miss their lifetime friend Â? Joy (James) Frederick of near Salem, Ohio, and Amy Fisher of Canton.
