Lucy was born in Perdue, Saskatchewan and raised on a farm just outside of Dauphin, Manitoba. She attended and obtained her teaching certificate at the Brandon Manitoba Normal School in 1941. While teaching at various rural Manitoba schools, she met and married Donald James while he was serving in the RCAF. In 1947 Lucy came to Ontario and started her teaching career in North York where she taught public school as well as becoming an art supervisor. Lucy sucessfully completed a 45 year career as a teacher. After her retirement, she devoted many hours of volunteer work at Care Free Lodge, Retired Teachers of Ontario and her church - Lansing United, North York.
