Lue was born on September 15, 1928, in Selfridge, North Dakota, the daughter of Fred W. and Elfia (Olson) Nagel. She grew up in Arlington, was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith and graduated from Arlington High School in 1946. Lue ventured from Arlington to Willmar with her sister Harriet and both worked at the Puritan Café. Lue met "Bob" Robert F. Fleischmann, while working at the Puritan. They enjoyed ballroom dancing all around Minnesota with their friends. On November 22, 1948, Lue was married to Bob in Webster, South Dakota and they spent their honeymoon travelling out west and arriving to see the swallows of San Juan Capistrano which was a favorite childhood story of Lue's. They made their home in Willmar and Lue worked at the Bell Telephone Company before being employed for 32 years as a receptionist at the Willmar Regional Treatment Center. Lue and Bob enjoyed spending their summers on Lake Andrew and winters in Arizona. Lue's hobbies included dancing, music, watching the sunset and being with her family at the lake.
