Lucille Cooper, who lived in Lisco for about 60 years before moving to Scottsbluff three years ago, has always enjoyed lending a helping hand to the older population. Even now at 80 years old, Cooper still loves volunteering her time to help seniors by delivering them meals, playing games like bingo and dominoes with them, checking on their well being, or simply enjoying a nice conversation with them.

I didn’t want that to come to an end just because I had retired.”
