Lucy Colpitts Menand ’36

LUCY DIED DEC. 16, 1993, at the Lawrenceville Nursing Home. Born in Kansas City, she was a longtime resident of Princeton and enjoyed her summer home at Big Moose, N.Y., in the Adirondacks.

For over 46 years, Lucy and her husband, past class president Howard Menand Jr., hosted us at their Hodge Rd. home for many class gatherings, including major and offyear reunions. For years, she worked on reunion details, including housing and class address directories.

Lucy was a very active person endowed with great manual dexterity. She was fascinated by smallscale model homes and miniature wooden furniture of early American design. Some years ago, she created a large illustrated color chart of the British Royal family, starting with Edward III. She was also recognized as an expert in refinishing furniture by antique dealers in Princeton, Philadelphia, and N.Y.C.

She is survived by her widower, Howard; daughters Mary M. Jacobs and Nelle M. Knox; sons Walter C. and Howard 111; and 10 grandchildren.

Lucy will be remembered for her devotion to her family and our class. She will indeed be missed.
