Lucy Ann Parsons, 83, passed away on October 4, 2019. Lucy earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work at Wagner College. On graduating, she worked in a variety of capacities for the Lutheran Church. After her father’s death, she and her mother relocated to Florida and later moved to Boone, NC. Though she had said as a young woman that she would not follow her mother's footsteps to be a Librarian, in midlife Lucy's destiny indeed drew her to those treasured centers of lifelong learning. She was an integral member of Florida Atlantic University Library's Administrative Team and also enjoyed two adventurous years at ASU Library. At Broward County Library in the Fort Lauderdale area, Lucy was indispensable for the 25 years of her tenure. She was the Film Librarian, a Cataloging Librarian, Regional Circulation Services Manager, and the Library System's one and only Deaf Services Librarian. She partnered with other library leaders and members of the Deaf Community to earn several extensive collection of videos and materials in American Sign Language and on deafness. She was instrumental in drafting the American Library Association's first Guidelines for Library Services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People. Lucy is survived by her godchild and three cousins. Memorial services for Lucy were conducted on October 10th at Grace Lutheran Church. A Mass in Lucy's memory will be at a later date at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church. Donations may be directed to dementia research, to hospice care, or the dog rescue of choice. (Source: ASU Foundation)
