Historical NoteReturn to Top
Lucille Clarke Dumbrill was born May 16, 1928, in Laketown, Utah. She attended elementary and secondary schools in Laramie, Wyoming, graduating from University High School in 1945. She then attended the University of Wyoming where she received a bachelor’s degree in 1949 and a master’s degree in 1951, both in mathematics. Along with her husband Richard, Lucille became active in the Wyoming State Historical Society, which led to a long career of volunteer service in historic preservation at UW and in the state of Wyoming. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the President’s Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. In 2001, she was awarded the UW Alumni Association’s Medallion Service Award. She was married to Richard S. Dumbrill on June 20, 1949, and the couple had three children, Deborah, Douglas, and Clarke.
