She attended Dale Park Elementary in Mariemont, Ohio and graduated from Mariemont High School in 1950. Lucy continued her education by attending and graduating from Miami University with a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Education in the 1950’s.

After marrying Emerson (Bud) Brown, who survives, she and her family camped extensively in their trailers in nearly all the 50 states. Sons, Christopher Dean (Gloria) and Aaron Lee (Ruth) so enjoyed these adventures. A favorite “retirement” trip included a month in Australia and New Zealand.

Of all the teaching years, she enjoyed teaching at Calvary Christian School the most. She had the opportunity to change many lives while teaching at Calvary Christian School. To teach there was the love of her life. She always said that teaching at Calvary Christian School was like “having your cake and eating it also”.
