Members of the Ladiesâ Auxiliary of the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department were chauffeured by firefighters to the home of Auxiliary member Lucille Weniger the afternoon of Friday, April 2, for the purpose of presenting Lucille with her well-deserved 65-year service pin.Â
Lucille has served as a significant support to firefighters for more than 70 years, having served five years in the Seguin Auxiliary before relocating to Beeville with her husband and lifelong firefighter, Wallace âWallyâ Weniger in April 1955, when he began his career as a federal firefighter at Chase Field Naval Base and joined the Beeville Fire Department. On Jan. 7, 1956, she joined the Beeville Ladiesâ Auxiliary and has actively served the past 65 years.Â
