Folks came to see her wrestle and wrangle ranch stock often two or three times her own size. They loved her series of rope stunts and present trained horses. She went on to become the first female rodeo producer of her own Wild West Show. Breaking social norms wherever she went, Lucille was a show-woman and inspiration.
Tragically, Lucille died in a car accident in 1940. She was the embodiment of charm and strength. She was girl power before there was girl power. Lucille is remembered for her spirit, fearlessness and rodeo expertise. Truly she was the first and led the way…..the first cowgirl.
