Lucy Annette Field, 92, longtime resident of Manhasset NY and Nashua NH, passed away Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022 with her family surrounding her.

She was born to Richard and Lucy Siegel January 20, 1930, in Brooklyn NY, and moved to Manhasset as a young child. She attended Manhasset High School Class of 1947. She received a BA in Math from Adelphi University in 1951.  

She married Richard Field in 1955, and they lived together in Texas for two years before returning to Manhasset.

Lucy is survived by two daughters and their husbands: Lucy Georgina Lucas and Vane T. Lucas, of Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Amy Field Watson, DMD and John A. Watson, MD, of Hollis NH. She is also survived by three grandchildren, David (Jessi) Lucas, Anna Watson and Andrew Watson. Lucy was predeceased by her loving husband Richard in 2010.

Lucy was determined to make something of her Math degree aside from being an actuary and soon after graduating walked into IBM in NY city unannounced to seek an interview. She was hired on the spot and spent her working years at IBM until her daughters were born. She loved creating beautiful things, gold leaf stenciling, crewel pieces, bows, and at holiday time cranberry bread.

She will be laid to rest in Manhasset at Christ Church next to her husband Dr. Richard Field. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Arthritis Foundation (arthritis.org), Meals on Wheels and Christ Church, Manhasset.
