Lucille Phillips was born in St. Charles, SD, on June 5, 1926, to Owen and Eva M. (Romans) Phillips. She was the youngest of three brothers and two sisters. Lucille attended school in St. Charles until moving to Frankfort, SD in 1935 where she graduated. On June 4, 1945, Lucille married Martin Robinson at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Frankfort, SD. They made their home in Frankfort with the exception of a brief move to Palmdale, CA in 1957. During their time in Frankfort, they gave birth to two daughters and two sons. In 1963, the Robinsons moved to Redfield. After this move, Lucille worked at Medical Arts and later at Dick's Bootery. Martin and Lucille were active in card playing, square dancing, municipal band, church, and hosting gatherings for friends and family. They were known for their grace and ease on the dance floor. Martin died unexpectedly on Sept. 4, 1979. In 1980, Lucille moved to Rapid City, SD, for one year then returned to Redfield. On May 10, 1988, Lucille married Clyde Binger at St. Bernard's Catholic Church in Redfield, SD. They shared an interest in card playing and visiting friends and family.
