Lucille E. Miller was born April 27, 1932 on the family farm south of Dickinson, the daughter of Joseph and Rosemary (Hutmacher) Miller. She attended Frenzel School south of Dickinson through the eighth grade. She was raised eight miles southeast of Dickinson where she developed her love of milking cows.
Lucille married Victor Tormaschy on April 7, 1953 at St. Josephs Catholic Church, Dickinson. They made their home south of Gladstone where they worked for a rancher until the fall of 1953. At that time they moved to Regent where Victor worked for J.P. Jungers. In the fall of 1955, the family moved to work on Raymond Schnells ranch near Lemmon, S.D. In April 1958 they moved to Marshall, to work for Raymond Schnell. In 1963, Victor and Lucille made their home on a farm northeast of Richardton.
