Lucille M. Banghart

After being apart for so long Lucille M. Banghart was called home to be with the love of her life Dallas J Banghart. Dallas (Dick) and Lucille (Lila) found each other in 1954 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The moment they met each other they knew they had found the "one." Dick and Lila were married a short time later. Dick was in the Military, and they spent many years travelling the world and experiencing everything. Together they started a beautiful family and had Michael and Eileen Banghart. They continued to travel around the world until Dick retired from the Military back in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dick was not done though, and he continue to work with the VA and created several other business opportunities as the years went on and Lila continued to build a wonderful home and family, on top of working in between. Over the years the family grew as their three grandchildren joined the family, Shae, Colton, and Shelby. They devoted their time to their grandchildren and loved every minute of it. The family will not be the same with them as the pillars holding the family together.
