Life story

Wisconsin to Grays Harbor

Lucille Lorraine Lueck was born on 30 September 1921 at Chippewa Falls, Chippewa County, Wisconsin, a daughter of Herbert H. Lueck and Sigrid (Signia) Gilbertson.1–3 She went by her middle name, Lorraine. By 1935 she was living at Aberdeen, on Grays Harbor in Washington, and she went as far as the second year of high school.4

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson

On 7 October 1939, a week after her eighteenth birthday, Lorraine married Woodrow Elgia Wilson at Aberdeen.5 The census taker found the young couple the next April renting a house at 318 South Michigan Street for $15 a month, with Woodrow's brother Floyd and an infant niece; Woodrow was working on WPA street construction.4 That October, when Woodrow registered for the draft, he named his wife, "Mrs. Lucille Lorraine Wilson", as the person who would always know his address, and gave her address as 1112 Tecumseh Street, not his own.6

Lorraine and Woodrow had three children, all born at Aberdeen between 1940 and 1942: an elder daughter (living), Bonita Jean, called Bonnie, born on 13 June 1941, and a younger child (living). Woodrow went into the Army in the summer of 1942, and on 25 April 1943 the three children were baptized together at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Seattle. Their sponsors were Mrs. Signa Jasper and Mr. Hubert Jasper; Lorraine's mother, by then remarried, was Signa Jasper.7–8

Later marriages

The marriage did not survive the war. On 19 October 1943, at Chehalis in Lewis County, Lucille Lorraine Wilson, twenty-two, married Merlin Godfrey.3 Her Social Security record shows that she was later Mrs. Lawter (by 1955) and Mrs. Huff (by 1956), and from at least 1969 Mrs. Hildbrand, the name she kept for the rest of her life.2 Her Find a Grave memorial gives her later husbands as Leonard Benjamin Lawter, George Vernon Huff and Gordon Carl Hildbrand, and a daughter, Hazel Marie (Huff) Christensen, who was born in 1946 and died in 2003.8 Her daughter Bonnie, Mrs. Brockman, died in 1996.8

She died on 2 February 2000, in Grays Harbor County, at the age of seventy-eight, and her ashes were laid in the urn garden of Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen.8–10

Research notes

  • Identity: The records are linked as one woman as follows. (1) The Wisconsin birth index gives Lucile Loraine Lueck, born 30 Sep 1921 in Chippewa County.1 (2) Lorraine L. Lueck married Woodrow E. Wilson at Aberdeen in Oct 1939, and in April 1940 Lorraine Wilson, 18, born in Wisconsin, was his wife.5, 4 (3) Woodrow's draft card (Oct 1940) names his wife as Mrs. Lucille Lorraine Wilson, and the 1943 baptism register gives the mother of his three children as Lorraine L. Lueck.6, 7 (4) In Oct 1943 Lucille Lorraine Wilson, née Lueck, 22, born at Chippewa Falls, daughter of Herbert and Signia Lueck, married Merlin Godfrey.3 (5) Her Social Security record gives Lorraine L. Lawter, also Huff, Hildbrand and Lorraine L. Lueck, born 30 Sep at Chippewa Falls, daughter of Herbert H. Lueck and Sigrid Gilbertson, died 2 Feb 2000.2 (6) The SSDI and the Washington death index give Lucille L. Hildbrand, born 30 Sep 1921, died 2 Feb 2000 in Grays Harbor County, aged 78.9, 10
  • Not her: The old family tree gave her a birth on 22 Apr 1922 at Park Rapids, Minnesota, and a second marriage to Vernon R. Stevenson in Clark County, Washington, in 1968. The marriage record behind it (read on the image, 27 Sep 2026) is of a different woman: Lorraine L. Wilson of Longview, 45, born 22 Apr 1922 at Park Rapids, twice divorced, who married Vernon A. Stevenson (the index's "R." is a misreading). Our Lorraine was born in Wisconsin in 1921 and was Mrs. Lawter, Huff and Hildbrand in those years. The Minnesota birth and the Stevenson marriage are rejected.
  • Birth: 30 Sep 1921 in the Wisconsin birth index and the SSDI; her Social Security record's 1922 is a slip.1, 9, 2 Chippewa Falls is named in her own Social Security record and in the 1943 marriage record; the birth index gives the county only. Find a Grave (read 27 Sep 2026) gives 20 Sep 1921, a slip for the 30th.8
  • The end of the first marriage: On Woodrow's draft card of Oct 1940 her address differs from his, which suggests a separation by then.6 She married Merlin Godfrey in Oct 1943 under her married name Wilson, so the marriage had ended by then, while Woodrow was in the Army; no divorce record has been found (Grays Harbor County Superior Court, 1941–1943).3
  • Later husbands: Merlin Godfrey (1943); then surnames Lawter (by May 1955), Huff (by Jan 1956) and Hildbrand (by Sep 1969), from her Social Security record.2 Her Find a Grave memorial, a derivative compilation, names them as Merlin Godfrey (1917–1972, m. 1943), Leonard Benjamin Lawter (1924–1988) and George Vernon Huff (1920–1981), both "m. 1955", and Gordon Carl Hildbrand (1920–1975, m. 1964).8 No marriage record for the last three has been read. The memorial also links her 1939 husband as "Woodrow Elwyn Wilson (1914–2004)", who is another man: her husband was Woodrow Elgia Wilson (1917–1966).8, 5
  • Hazel Marie (Huff) Christensen: Find a Grave links a daughter, Hazel Marie (Huff) Christensen, 1946–2003.8 Her birth year falls between the Godfrey marriage (1943) and the Lawter and Huff surnames of 1955–56, so who her father was, and why she bore the name Huff, is not yet known.
  • Her mother: Her Social Security record names her mother Sigrid Gilbertson; the 1943 marriage index has "Signia". Find a Grave links her mother as Signa Gilbertson or Gulbranson Jasper (1901–1974) and a sibling, Rollin Herbert "Ron" Jasper (1924–1999), so the Mrs. Signa Jasper who sponsored her children at their baptism in 1943, with Mr. Hubert Jasper, was her mother, remarried.2, 3, 8, 7 The Obituary Daily Times index of her own death carries "(Gilbertson)" among her names.11
  • Children: Three children with Woodrow Wilson, born at Aberdeen in 1940–1942 and baptised in Seattle in 1943: Bonita Jean (Bonnie), born 13 Jun 1941, who died in 1996 as Mrs. Brockman (Find a Grave), and two who are living or presumed living and are not named.7, 8 The old tree's 13 Jun 1940 for Bonnie is wrong: the register gives 1941. A later daughter, Hazel Marie (Huff) Christensen (1946–2003), is linked on Find a Grave (see above). Any other children of her later marriages are not known.
  • Death and burial: 2 Feb 2000 in Grays Harbor County (SSDI, Washington death index); the Obituary Daily Times index gives Aberdeen.9, 10, 11 Find a Grave records her ashes in the urn garden of Fern Hill Cemetery, Aberdeen, plot F/15/6th.8 Her obituary was not found in the Newspapers.com indexes or full text (searched 27 Sep 2026); the Aberdeen Daily World of Feb 2000, which does not appear to be on Newspapers.com, is the next place to look.11
  • Sources: The indexes named above were read on 27 Sep 2026, and her Find a Grave memorial was read on its own site; Woodrow's draft card and the 1943 baptism register were read on the images in the survey of his records. No record image for her own marriages has been viewed.
