3 Resident Spotlight: Lucille Conjie Williams Lucille Conjie Conjugation was born January 1, 1930 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu to Mr. James Anthony and Mrs. Lucille Leinani Conjugation. Conjie was named Lucille Leinani after her mother and the third child for Mr. and Mrs. Conjugation. Conjie grew up with two brothers, James, Anthony, and one sister Laurietta Joye. Some of her favorite childhood memories are when she and her siblings played marbles together. She also loved hula dancing. On December 7, 1941 Conjie and her siblings were playing in their backyard when hundreds of planes began flying overhead. She says that you could see the pilots from the ground; they were so close. As bombs were being dropped she says it was very scary and as a child it was hard to understand exactly what was happening around them. During this time there was a complete blackout for weeks in Hawaii and they had to ration everything from gas to water to groceries. She states that everyone was required to wear gasmasks and be administered shots to help prevent disease and infections. Her father, James, was an engineer and the Army attempted to recruit him to become a colonel but her mother said he could not go and that his duty was to his family and their plantation. Conjie s mother taught her and her siblings to sew their own clothes and to cook. Conjie was responsible for taking the ration cards to buy groceries for the family. Conjie completed high school in Hawaii and then boarded a ship for main land America. She sailed for 4 1/2 weeks and docked in San Francisco. From San Francisco she took a bus to Pittsburg, Kansas. She began college at Kansas University in She said her first winter was the hardest because not only was she so far from home but it was so cold! She met her husband, Jim Williams, while attending college and they were married in Jim trained to be a chef at the Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Paris, France. Some of their favorite times together were golfing and raising their family. Conjie and Jim have two children, Tony and Marlea Luana and one granddaughter, Marlea Shay. Conjie moved to Culpepper in 2013 and loves to participate in fitness classes and socialize with residents and staff. 3
