Winifred Lucille Cavanaugh was born 4 March 1921 in Rouseville, Venango County, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Timothy Francis Cavanaugh and Verna Merle Feely. On 16 November 1939, she married Jack Filson Frick and they resided at Rouseville until his death on 13 Feb 1949 at the age of 33, leaving Lucille a young widow with three young boys. Lucille married 27 January 1951, James Andrew Slike. They owned and operated a land conservation and pipe laying business. In 1961, a state contract relocated them from Pennsylvania to Ovid, New York with seven children. In 1963, they purchased the Gulf Fueling and Service Station in Ovid. Lucille worked as the service station bookkeeper while raising a family, which they operated until the passing of James on 2 January 1978 in Ovid. She also worked as the bookkeeper for the Seneca Memorial Association and was the Town of Ovid tax collector for 35 years, retiring in 2009. Her ability as an excellent record keeper secured her several odd jobs assisting local families with their financial situations. Lucille was a devout Catholic and gave her time to the Rosary Altar Society of Holy Cross Church in Ovid. She was a member of Post 462 American Legion and a life member of VFW Post 6200 Auxiliary.
