Her life began on July 12, 1927, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma with her loving parents George and Agnes (Bay) Auterson. Loucill grew up with her sister, Sylvia Lee.

She received the Academy of Friendship, College of Regents, and Star Recorder degrees.

As of March 1982, Loucill had sponsored 75 members in the Ponca City chapter.
