On September 19, 1965 at the age of 68 she gave birth to a baby girl named Clara Almanzar. In an interview she stated it was a shock that she was pregnant as she did not think at her age it was possible. She did her best to take care of her daughter but it was a struggle. Her daughter (Clara Almanzar) has stated it was very hard growing up with a mother that was much older and she felt her childhood was taken from her. Unfortunately Lucille passed away a year before her granddaughter Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar was born. Belcalis would later become a very successful rapper and would go by the stage name Cardi B. She stated in an interview with TMZ that her mother had played some of her grandmothers music for her and it had inspired some of her songs most notably the hit WAP.
