She was reared and educated in Pennsylvania and moved to California with her family in 1944. Lucy (which was really Lucia Federico, but, Americanized to Lucy Frederick) was employed as a clerk/cashier at a trade school in California when she met a veteran, fresh out of the Army.
A young cowboy from Wyoming surrendered his heart to a sweet Italian girl from Pennsylvania. Charles Raymond “Chuck” Gorman and Lucy were married
on April 27, 1946, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Glendale, California. While Chuck was beginning his career as an airline instrument mechanic, Lucy began honing her skills as a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker.

Returning to California in 1959, Lucy was employed doing office work at a furniture factory. In 1973, they decided to return to Wyoming where they could help care for Chuck’s mother and brother and the family property in Wheatland. In no time at all, Lucy became an integral part of the community.
A loving caregiver, she grandmothered all manner of children, shared her calligraphy talents, became an accomplished wheat weaver and did extensive volunteer work. She also continued in her tradition of active devotion to her church.
A special 90th birthday celebration was held recently in Wheatland for Lucy and a number of her nieces and nephews were in attendance from all over the United States; a very special memory for her.
Survivors include her daughter, Patricia Schmidle and Helmut of Freiburg, Germany; two grandchildren, Patrik Schmidle and Sue and John of San Diego, California and Simone Schmidle and Oliver of Freiburg, Germany; and several nieces and nephews.
