Lucille Painter Graybill

November 26, 1916 – September 30, 2021

Lucille Painter Graybill (Mrs. EA Graybill Jr.), 104, of Troutville, Va., Passed away peacefully of natural causes on September 30, 2021. Lucille, usually known as Cille, was born in Montebello, Va., The daughter of the late Bland A. and Martha Seaman Painter. Her family moved to Thaxton, Virginia, where her parents ran a general store. After graduating from high school at the age of 16, she attended Averett College where she obtained her associate degree. She then attended Mary Washington College and earned a BA with a double major in English and Music. After graduation, she taught in Poquoson, Virginia, as it was one of the few places that offered a public school music program.

Since her parents moved to Troutville, Virginia, she moved to Troutville and taught history, English and music at Troutville High School. It was in Troutville that she met and married EA “June” Graybill Jr. and together they bought Rader Funeral Home and became active in the Botetourt community. Lucille was a pianist, choir director and later organist at the Baptist Church in Troutville for over 75 years. When her children were young, she gave private piano and organ lessons and many people in the community benefited from her teaching expertise. She was a Master Musician. When her children grew up, she returned to teaching as the first public primary school music teacher for Botetourt County Schools. Lucille volunteered for the Lions Club, taught music to inmates at the local prison camp, continued as organist at Rader Funeral Home, and performed for many programs, weddings and receptions in the area.

Although Lucille was dedicated to her music and community service, her family was her greatest joy. Many generations of children have enjoyed being in his home and Sunday dinners have always been a priority. His family loved him very much and he will miss his storytelling skills, his endless wisdom, his endless support and encouragement, and his refined sense of style.

Lucille was predeceased by her parents, brothers, Bland Painter and Richard Painter, and son, Richard A. Graybill. She is survived by her daughters, Martha Morrison (Dennis) and Anne Vassar; Joe Ellison (Dianna) whom she loved like a son; her grandchildren, Belinda Edwards (Barry), Mary Paderick (Chad) and Andrew Vassar (Angela DeLong); her great-grandchildren, Sarah Edwards, Emily Dooley (Branden), Amy Marsh (Brian), Benjamin Silcox (Lauren), Ramsey Vassar, Hunter Vassar, Carter Vassar, Bennett Vassar-DeLong and Tripp Cullop; his great-great-grandchildren, Mila Edwards, McKinley Dooley, Jackson Dooley, Emory Marsh, Mattie Marsh, Benjamin Silcox and Brooks Silcox; her sister-in-law, Agnes Painter and her children, Bland Painter Jr. (Betty), Rosanna Myers (Bobby) and Page Weddle (Steve) and their families; and special friends, Pat Mundy and Shirley Mullins.

The family thanks their dedicated caregiver, Teresa Wingo.
