Lucille Mayette Jimmo (Bryce), 93, passed away peacefully on December 7, 2025.

Born in Colchester, Vermont on September 24, 1932, Lucille spent her childhood on her family’s farm in Cambridge—a place she carried in her heart all her life. She often spoke of those early days with affection: taking lunch out to her father, gathering sap by his side, or sharing a Sunday supper of crackers and milk. She cherished her father’s familiar call: “Come on, Suki. We’ve got work to do.”

Lucille worked many jobs throughout her long life, each one allowing her to connect with people she came to care for deeply. Her first “outside of the house” job was waitressing at the original Snap’s Restaurant. She served as a teacher’s aide at Bristol Elementary School, worked as a customer service representative at both Bristol banks, and retired from Martin’s Hardware as a cashier at the remarkable age of 84. In every role, she was known for her kindness, her humor, and the way she made everyone feel welcome. As one community member shared, “She has left a legacy in this town.”

More than anything, Lucille loved her family. She delighted in hearing about the lives and adventures of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her love for family, shaped by her farm upbringing and strengthened by the challenges she faced along the way, was the steady center of her life. Though she knew hardship, she never allowed it to dim her spirit.

Lucille was predeceased by her husband, Leon Jimmo; her father, Olin Bryce, Sr.; her mother, Dorothy Levins; her brothers Carroll, James and Dickie Bryce, her sister Virginia (Bryce) Hanker; her stepsister Glenna Mae; her step children Michael and Karla Jimmo, her son-in-law Michael Gleason and daughter-in-law Elaine Dearborn.

She is survived by her brother Olin Bryce, Jr.; her stepsister Esther Meyer; and by her children: Anne Gleason, Alan Powell, Charles Powell, Dawn Jimmo (Richard) , Douglas Powell (Suzanne), Lisa Powell, and Brad Jimmo. She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her tremendous pride and joy.

A celebration of Lucille’s life will be held at a later date, when family and friends can gather to remember her warmth, her stories, and the gentle strength that defined her.
