Ride for ever Lucille. 🐴
Lucille was one of the first people I came across when I moved down from Carnarvon in 2004 and took the plunge into the ‘horse’ world. She was incredibly supportive and full of encouragement towards Ashia and myself as we commenced the journey of pony club, shows and fun with her first pony. Lucille’s willingness to take part in all activities, her energy within the clubs she was part of and her constant positive attitude is legendary. I always thought of Lucille as immortal, the news of her death has left me with such great sadness. Her absence will be sorely felt in so many parts of Geraldton. My heartfelt condolences to her family.
Love and respects to you all, lovely lady with a heart of gold…much love…🙏❤
Lucille meant so much to me, I’ve known her since I was born she’s been a big part of my family and our kids life through Spalding pony club she will be sadly missed 😞 our condolences to the family from Elìse Shain Cassie and Ross Forth xxxxx

Condolences to Kathryn & all of Lucille’s family. She was like a flower that was always in bloom and I was incredibly saddened to hear of her passing. She has left a distinct mark on the Geraldton horse community, her never ending lend-a-hand attitude to riders of all levels was incredible. I will cherish the years I had in her presence at the western club. I am sure she has reunited with Impulse in Heavens best pastures. Thank you Lucille xx
A wonderful, horse loving lady, at rest. Sympathy to all her family and friends.
Thank you for the privilege to say goodbye to Lucille on Saturday such a lovely and loved friend to us all 💖🌷

Fond memories of this lovely lady encouraging KiraleeRose, deepest sympathy to family
From Julie and KiraleeRose
So glad I got the opportunity to spend time with her at the western club right before we all went into lockdown. She was such a unique character and always involved, helping and volunteering her time, giving everyone encouragement and nice comments to the kids. Beautiful lady
and a mum to be proud of for sure.

Rest in piece you beautiful lady. I used to love going to the riding club and seeing your smile there. You always lit up my weekend! ❤️ Ride high Lucille xx
It is so sad to hear your passing Lucille! You are such an amazing lady, always spreading your happiness and “hugs”. There has never been a time you have not given everyone a hug when you see them, lighting up their day! Your involvement in the pony club was tremendous and your encouragement toward junior riders is unforgettable. You were an amazing inspiration to us all and gave us so many amazing memories with you xxx

Lucille has been an amazing feature in my life since I was a little girl on a little pony at Spalding Pony Club. As an adult Lucille shared so many tidbits of her thoughts and ideas as we sat on the fences at clinics together. You will leave a huge space in Geraldton’s community. I am both saddened and heartened – saddened because I just love you and you are simply gone so suddenly! There are so many things I want to say to you in hindsight. And heartened because you will never be forgotten, with your witty responses, wicked sense of humour and genuine sense of justice. I will forever be grateful to have had you in my life. A massive inspiration to always try harder to be the best human I can be. I feel an amazing sense of gratitude to have known you. Bless your gorgeousness and may you ride forever! Rest Peacefully Lucille.
What a wonderful and caring woman you were Lucille. Always so ready with a smile and a greeting to brighten the day.
Sincere condolences to Kathryn and the family on the loss of this lovely lady. Rest peacefully Lucille and smile down on the rest of us.
Such a huge positive personality, what a loss to our community.
So many memories over so many years, I still can’t believe this is goodbye. You were so very loved Mrs Peat.
So sorry for your loss Kathryn and the rest of the Peat family

My sincere condolences to Lucille’s family. I have been very fortunate in having Lucille and my path coming together many years ago. We enjoyed so many wonderful times which brought me so much joy.

Lucille gave everyone so much and asked for nothing in return. A treasure to have known. Riding now on her beautiful Impulse.

It was a pleasure to look after Lucille in her final moments and meeting all the beautiful daughter by her bedside. My condolences to the family and may you be blessed and comforted as you grieve together.
Lucille one the most beautiful ladies who was always ready to lend a hand. She never forgot a face. She made sure to check in with how her beloved Greg (my hubby) was going. Not to forget how my girls were doing either. A regular face at al the horse clubs in town and a legend who was still riding her beloved horse too. Although you may be gone in body I’m sure your spirit will remain with your loved ones. Forever in our hearts you will be terribly missed by many. We are so sad we cannot bid you farewell but be sure our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Deepest sympathy to Kathryn and your sisters and extended family. With al our love from, Tammy, Greg, Jaydee & Chloe Harris xx
Thank you Lucille for your love and acceptance of all the special kids at HorsePower (RDA) and for your enthusiasm and commitment to the club. But mostly thank you for making my special girl, Aleisha, always feel special in your presence (and for letting her ride Indy!) . It won’t be the same without you. Love to your family from mine. Tracy, Ken, Kelsey & Aleisha xx
Mrs Peat, I have known you most of my life you taught me how to ride when I was younger and you were up lifting and good for a laugh in my adult hood. Your energy and enthusiasm was contagious, Thank you for being a part of my life. ❤
My thoughts are with you girls sorry we can’t be there to support you at this time xx
Lucille was an inspiration to young and old. She led by example and her can do attitude was always evident. I admired her as a horse rider and for her ability to make people feel welcome and valued. My sympathy to all of Lucille’s family and close friends. She was one in a million. RIP

It’s been a privilege knowing Lucille as one of my best friend (Alisons) Mum since primary school. Some of my most precious life memories include ‘Mrs Peat’ and the times spent at their place , right through to recent Exhibition celebrations at my business where Lucille always ‘lights up a room’ with her vivacious/ welcoming and genuinely sincere personality, we will miss you and know no-one quite like you ever again. God bless.
Such fond memories of a fun, energetic lady. Always putting your girls first every moment of your life.
A loving and inspiring woman who has been a blessing to our family since we moved next door to her in 2010. You will be missed and remembered as kind, compassionate and graceful. Love to Allison, Kathryn and Rowena. NICKI MORTON

Your beautiful daughters are a credit to you. We will miss our Gero catch ups. So glad we saw you in Feb. May you ride high over the rainbow bridge. Much love to Rowena Alison and Kathryn and families from Peter and Sue
Met Lucille through our Midwesterners Natural Horsemanship group some twenty years ago. She made everyone feel included… (come here and give me a hug!) and was the best company. Swapping stories, that twinkling laugh of glee, the tin of biscuits she’d baked, riding and learning things together, hearing of her enjoyment and prowess at the cattle cutting days with Impulse; hearing gradually about her girls and Kathryn then become ‘one of us’. What fun we have had, at innumerable horsy days out and clinics, Lucille coming for hay and having a beer with Richard, stopping for a chat in IGA was the last time I saw her. Lucille drew strength from her interactions with such a wide circle of friends – it is such a shame we can’t all come together for many hugs at a big happy funeral for her. Lucille was a much loved Geraldton identity and I shall really miss seeing her out and about. Been a privilege to have her as a friend. God bless xxx
We were all touched by Lucille’s loving, caring, wonderful personality. She was an inspiration to all.
In my heart forever.
Her sister Anne (Bebe)
I will miss my beautiful, cheeky and fun-loving aunty very much.
So many fond memories.
RIP Lucille.
Nicky
Such a wonderful wonderful person ride free Lucille. Taken too soon 💖💖💖💖
In this deepest time of sadness at your passing Lucille I can hear you say quite clearly ‘ Don’t be sad , go ride your horse , my dear’ in that distinct soft warm voice of yours . So I do every day. Thankyou . Rest In Peace my friend.
Dear Lu You were the most amazing Aunt anyone could want. You were interested in what we were doing, always full of fun and your beautiful smile made people you met feel special. We picture you riding your horse amongst the stars. Love and sympathy to Rowena, Kathryn, Alison and family. From your cousins Julie and Dave x
It seems that God has chosen to take the best with him this week, first my Dad and then my beautiful friend Lucille! I will miss her quirky humour and big hugs. She was a loyal client and friend . Now at rest
I first met Mrs Peat when she free-leased my first treasured pony Bambi to us. A special lady with a special pony. I remember Lucille as generous, kindhearted, and loving, and as I grew up, I always treasured her as one of my very dear Spalding family. Visits back to Geraldton were always more delightful when I had the chance to see her again, the last time being 16 months ago when she showed up at Spalding to see us riding there with Marie. Lucille was always checking out what was going on, making sure everyone was behaving themselves. She was notorious for her practical fashion – shorts, stockings, and anti-burr boot covers.
Lucille was one of the special people who touch the lives of so many others, a role model for children and a valued friend to all. She will be sorely missed.
Much sadness on the passing of our dear friend Lucille, one of the stalwarts of Spalding Horse and Pony club, a mentor and inspiration to many children and adult riders over the years.
She introduced my two daughters to the pleasures of riding by loaning her pony Bambi. She encouraged children to strive in improving their riding but also always having fun and considering the care and welfare of their horses. She was a bit cheeky and always up for a laugh, she also liked her tea in a cup and saucer! Love and sympathy to her family from Kathy, Cameron, Sarah and Alison McLay
I will always remember Aunty Lucille with fond memories. Her warm heart, sense of humour and cheekiness was endearing. Love and sympathy to my cousins Rowena, Kathryn, Alison and family.

Rich memories of a much loved Aunty and a wonderful person. Lucille was generous of spirit, warmhearted , sharing time and laughter and abundant energy and making people feel good. Deepest sympathy to all who loved her and especially Rowena, Kathryn and Alison .

Many wonderful memories of our Aunty Lucy (much loved sister of Helga (dec) and sister in law of Hamish (dec)) to cherish always.A very caring person, full of laughter , fun and love for all who were fortunate to know her. Love and sympathy to Rowena, Steve and family, Kathryn and Neil and Alison . RIP Aunty Lucille. The Johnston Clan
Dear Rowena, Steve and family, Kathryn & Neil & Alison, we were so very sad to hear about Aunty Lu and would like to send you all our deepest sympathy, love, hugs and prayers. She was such a lovely lady, so happy and friendly and great fun to chat with. Oh she could make you laugh, what great sense of humour she had! We have happy memories of couple times we stayed with her in Geraldton when our kids were young. We laughed so much especially about the snack chocolate! But that’s a very small story in the multitude of wonderful tales that you all must have. I Hope your wonderful memories will bring you warmth and comfort through the pain of her loss. Bless you all. Much love Jan & Phil xxx
Sadness to hear about Lucille. A long time customer and a great lady for a chat.
Deepest sympathy to the Peat family.
Rick, Mandy, Gerry and Vivienne Smith
Heaven Certainly gained an angel in Lucille – she was such a loving and kind person, always so encouraging to me and my riding at Spalding Pony Club, she was instrumental in my first pony “Bambi”. Her warm hugs, cheerful smile, charismatic personality and joyous character will be sadly missed. Much love to her family and friends during this difficult time. Xx
My dear friend Lucille has left us earlier than expected. What a wonderful lady so full of life and fun. I don’t have anyone to share my teabag with now at pony club or at my office as we did often when she called in. She was a marvellous pony club life member at Spalding and a wonderful supporter of RDA. She helped so many riders no matter what age to just enjoy their horses. What an inspiration and positive person she was. Deepest sympathy, love and hugs to Rowena, Alison, Kathryn and families. She will be missed by so many people.
Dear Lucille. So unique. So beautiful. Special memories of Three Springs/Arrino days. Thinking of you Rowena, Kathryn and Alison.
Deepest Sympathy to Alison,Kathryn,Rowena & family.
A beautiful lady gone way too soon.
Dear Rowena, Kathryn and Alison, thinking of you and yours at this sad time, Lucille was always larger than life itself. So many memories, so many good times. Beach rides, pony club, coffee dates, parties, amazing times at all the natural horse clinics, rda, mullewa musters. It was quite a ride. Reunited with her beloved ponies, and Impulse. Remembered forever. Janella.
Dear Rowena, Kathryn, Alison thinking of you and yours at this sad time, Lucille was alway larger than life itself, so many memories, from our early meeting, probably through pony club, lots of beach rides, coffee mornings, committee meetings, parties, the mullewa muster weekends, and our amazing natural horsemanship journey over the years. So much to remember and cherish, reunited with her beloved ponies and impulse. Ride on Lucille. Janella
My condolences again to Rowena, Kathryn , Alison and Family. I will miss this lovely lady and friend calling in for a chat and cuppa each week who would say she is only here for 10 mins but would stay so much longer.R.I.P my friend.
Fond memories of a loyal & loving friend.Thank you for all the fun times we had with our horses,your friendship & hospitality will never be forgotten.I will miss our long late night phone calls until we meet again in green pastures.love & condolences to Rowena,Kathryn & Alison.
