Middleton - Lucille Margaret Acker, age 98, of Middleton, passed away at her home in Middleton on Thursday, June 9, 2022. She was born at home in Waunakee, Wis., the daughter of Constant and Margaret Klein and was the oldest of their five children.

Lucille married Paul Acker on Sept. 12, 1945. They settled on Bristol Street in Middleton in 1947, living there for over 60 years. Together they raised five children, Virginia, Carol, David, Jane and Mark. She was a member of St. Bernard Catholic Church from the time she got married until the time of her death.

Lucille had many interests, including playing bridge, which she did for many years. She did sewing and alterations, and loved handiwork such as crocheting, cross stitching and knitting. Her favorite thing was to have family around her, and she always made holidays special, especially Christmas. She also enjoyed traveling, and made many trips to Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. In addition, she was an avid reader, a trait she passed on to her children. In the two years prior to her death, she arranged flowers at the dining tables at Heritage Middleton every Tuesday, which proved to be one of her favorite activities.

Lucille is survived by her daughters, Virginia (Deanna Denny) Acker, Carol Mae (Floyd) Timm and Jane (Bill) Hamner; her sons, David (Jane) Acker and Mark (Jodi) Acker; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; three great-great grandchildren; and other friends and relatives.
