HALL, Lucy Harris June 1, 1932 - September 2, 2018

Lucy was born on June 1, 1932 in Princeton, New Jersey to Dorothy Harris Lacy, and grew up with her mother and her grandparents, Omega and Belle Harris. She passed away on September 2, 2018. Lucy attended Princeton public schools, graduating from Princeton High in 1950. She received a Bachelor of Science Degree from Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Lucy had a long career as a teacher in Kansas City, Kansas; Poitier, France; Vicenza, Italy; Lawrence Township, New Jersey; and Chicago. While in Tucson, she was a writer for a children's television program, a director of secondary reading for Tucson's largest school district, assistant principal at Santa Rita High School, and the principal of Townsend Junior High School. She always said that education was a wonderful career, but little did she know, the best was yet to come. In 1982, Lucy joined the United States Foreign Service, and after several months of training in Washington, D.C., she began diplomatic assignments at U.S. embassies, primarily in French-speaking African countries, but also in the Caribbean. Her son, daughter, and friends, visited her in those foreign countries, and stayed with her in her exciting, luxurious, and sometimes exotic homes. And during her vacations, she would travel with them to different corners of the globe. Lucy is survived by the joys and prides of her life: her daughter, Margo Hall and her granddaughters, Kaci and Serenity, all of Tucson, Arizona, and her son, Roger Hall and his wife, Buff of Scottsdale, Arizona, and their daughters, Heather and Kelli Emady of Tempe, Arizona, and Gainesville, Florida. She is also survived by her former husband and forever friend, Francis Roger "Skip" Hall of Tucson, AZ. As with all of us, to God goes the glory. She always said God had chosen, protected, and forgiven her not only for her sins, but also for bad decisions and wrongful deeds. Each morning she began the day with a simple "Thank you, Lord." And although Her wonderful life has ended, we too say, "Thank you, Lord." Services will be held at the First Baptist Church of Princeton, 30 Green Street, Princeton, New Jersey, 08542, at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 15, 2018.
