Lucille Wernmark and Peg Blumer, Director
of Donor Resources - March 23, 2004 Lucille
Wernmark moved to Trinidad in 1952, just as the Northern California
Community Blood Bank opened. A little girl in the community
needed a heart surgery. During her surgery, the little girl
used 16 units of blood. Although Lucille started donating
during World War II, she became active in supporting the blood
bank by sponsoring local blood drives. In 1952, Lucille worked
with the local PTA to establish regular community blood drives
which continue today at the Trinity City Hall. Although Lucille
left the area in the mid 70's, she continued to be an active
donor and blood drive sponsor in Arizona. When Lucille returned
to live near her daughter in Willow Creek in 1983, she began
working with the Big Foor Soroptimist International, sponsoring
regular blood drives in Willow Creek. On Tuesday, March 23,
2004, Lucille donated her 100th unit of blood at the Willow
Creek local blood drive. Her contributions over the years
have touched the lives of so very many people. There is no
greater gift than the gift of life.
