Lucille Toback Obituary

Lucille Selma Cohen Toback passed away peacefully in her room at Village Shalom on April 23rd, 2022.

Born April 2, 1930 to Rose and Julius Michael Cohen in Brooklyn NY, where she and Leonard Toback raised three daughters. Lucille was active in her daughters' PTA, becoming co-president of the George W. Wingate HS Parents Association in the turbulent years of the late 1960's where she also ran the school bookstore.

Lucille and her husband moved to the Brookside area of Kansas City in the 1970s, having been introduced to the area by her brother Eugene Cohen, of blessed memory. Lucille worked for the IRS from the 1970s until the early 2000's, retiring at the age of 77. During this time, Lucille moved to Lawrence KS; she loved the vibe of the college town, living just off Massachusetts Street for 30 years.

Lucille is survived by 3 daughters, Renee Toback, Mindy Pinkerton and Shari Barr (Dick), 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandson.
