wounded in the Pacific. After the war she attended South Chicago Nursing School. In 1948 she

married William M. Wood, and moved to Crivits, Wisconsin to be farmers. They later moved back

to Chicago where Lucy was employed by South Shore Hospital from 1956-1978. In 1978 they moved

to Phoenix, Arizona, owned the “B & L Apartments,” and later moved to central Mesa, and East Mesa.
